Oluremi Tinubu Partners with Leadership Newspaper to Empower Two Million Nigerians

Wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed her commitment to empowering two million Nigerians through her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative.

Hosting the management team of Leadership Newspaper at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday, the First Lady expressed enthusiasm about partnering with the media organization on the empowerment program. She welcomed their proposal to collaborate towards achieving the ambitious goal, emphasizing the importance of collective efforts in supporting Nigerians.

Mrs. Tinubu noted that addressing the needs of citizens cannot be left to the government alone, stressing that partnerships with private organizations and individuals are crucial for sustainable development.

Earlier, Leadership Newspaper’s Vice Chairman, Mr. Mike Okpere, briefed the First Lady on the newspaper’s ongoing charity initiatives. He proposed a strategic collaboration with the Renewed Hope Initiative, explaining that the plan aims to empower 1,000 individuals, each tasked with mentoring and uplifting four others — ultimately reaching two million Nigerians.

Okpere outlined that the program would offer practical skills training in sectors like tie and dye, fishing, tailoring, and more, with the goal of fostering financial independence and productivity among beneficiaries.

Also speaking, Chairman of Leadership Newspaper, Mrs. Zainab Nda-Isaiah, praised Mrs. Tinubu for her relentless efforts in advocating for the less privileged. She described the First Lady as the “Mother of the Nation,” applauding her humanitarian work across the country.
