First Lady Oluremi Tinubu says the economic hardship and plethora of challenges Nigerians are facing will soon be a thing of the past.
Amidst the backdrop of economic turbulence and social unrest, Tinubu’s words resonate with many Nigerians who are grappling with the impact of inflation, unemployment, and other pressing issues. As citizens across the country contend with the daily struggles of making ends meet, her message serves as a beacon of optimism in an otherwise bleak landscape.
Tinubu’s assurance that the tough times will soon come to an end underscores the resilience and perseverance of the Nigerian people. Despite the myriad challenges facing the nation, her unwavering belief in the capacity of Nigerians to overcome adversity reflects a deep sense of faith in the collective spirit of the nation.
The meeting with governors’ wives at the presidential villa provided a platform for Tinubu to address key stakeholders and convey her message of hope directly to those in positions of influence. By engaging with individuals who hold significant sway in their respective states, Tinubu seeks to amplify her message of patience and resilience, encouraging concerted efforts towards finding solutions to the nation’s challenges.
She gave the assurance on Monday during a meeting with the wives of governors at the presidential villa in Abuja.
She said 2024 would bring peace, progress, prosperity and greater achievements to the advantage of all Nigerians.
“Times like this call for sober reflection; hence, all hands must be on deck. Moreover, the hardship situation is temporary; it will soon fade away.
“The mission of the RHI is driven by my office to complement the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration of President Tinubu,’’ she said.
It is worth noting that Tinubu’s words carry weight not only as a prominent political figure but also as a representative of the Nigerian populace. As the wife of a prominent politician and a public figure in her own right, her message resonates with Nigerians from all walks of life, offering a sense of solidarity and unity in the face of adversity.
In times of hardship, leadership plays a crucial role in providing guidance and instilling confidence in the populace. Tinubu’s willingness to address the nation’s challenges head-on and offer words of encouragement demonstrates her commitment to serving the best interests of the Nigerian people. By acknowledging the difficulties faced by ordinary citizens and offering a message of hope, she exemplifies the qualities of compassionate and empathetic leadership.
While the road ahead may be fraught with challenges, Tinubu’s message serves as a reminder that resilience, patience, and unity are essential virtues in navigating uncertain times. As Nigerians band together to confront the myriad challenges facing the nation, her words offer solace and inspiration, instilling a sense of hope for a brighter future.
She said Women Agricultural Support Programme (WASP), under her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) will empower 20 farmers each, from five states in the South East Zone.
“These farmers will get N500,000 each and a total draft of N10m will be given to five RHI states’ coordinators as the case may be.
“The National Agricultural Land Development Authority in partnership with the RHI will support an additional 80 female farmers from each state with the provision of training and capacity building and agricultural inputs.
“We will buy-off all produce from the farms after harvest,’’ she said.
The First Lady said she would soon launch “Young Farmers Club’’ in public schools across the nation to encourage farming among young population.
She said schools with the best farms would be identified, and prizes would be given to them, ranging from school renovations, equipping of school science laboratories, provision of ICT equipment and upgrading of school libraries
