First Lady Oluremi Tinubu presented an N110 million empowerment scheme for elderly citizens and persons with disabilities across all 109 senatorial districts in Nigeria. The initiative, part of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), includes two programs, each receiving N55 million, aimed at benefiting 250 beneficiaries in each district.
Under these programs, 250 beneficiaries will receive N200,000 each. Tinubu urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidates to oversee the implementation and ensure the funds reach vulnerable Nigerians, rather than limiting it to party members. The First Lady emphasized that the program leverages the candidates' local knowledge of beneficiaries, improving coordination and ensuring effective delivery.
This marks a continuation of her commitment to supporting vulnerable Nigerians, which has been evident in her numerous empowerment initiatives during her 12 years in the Senate.
