The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, explained that the Food Outreach Scheme under the Renewed Hope Initiative’s Social Investment Fund was launched in March 2024 to provide food items to persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups to support their families.
She revealed that the goal of the Renewed Hope Initiative is to complement the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by supporting all Nigerians to strive and achieve their goals, irrespective of their condition or status.
According to her the renewed hope initiative will support elderly people and women in agro-businesses with start-up kits and other empowerment to venture into agricultural activities for food security and sufficiency.
Also speaking, Yobe state Governor Dr Mai Mala Buni, who was represented by his deputy, Alhaji Idi Barde Gubana, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment towards improving the living conditions of the people with a focus on women, youth and elderly persons as part of the post-insurgency recovery programme.
