First Lady, Remi Tinubu Distributes ₦50 Million In Oyo State Through Renewed Hope Initiative
Elderly residents of Oyo State on Tuesday received financial and healthcare support under the third edition of the Renewed Hope Initiative Elderly Support Scheme (RHIESS), as the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, unveiled a ₦50 million intervention to enhance the welfare and wellbeing of senior citizens in the state.
The programme, held at the Local Government Training School, Secretariat, Ibadan, was part of the nationwide rollout of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Social Investment Programme, themed “Finding Joy in Old Age.”
Senator Tinubu, who is the National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative, was represented at the event by the wife of the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Mrs Ajibike Lawal.
Under the scheme, 250 elderly citizens aged 65 years and above in Oyo State are benefiting from financial assistance, in line with the national programme being implemented across the 36 states of the federation, the Federal Capital Territory, as well as among veterans of the Armed Forces and Police.
Addressing beneficiaries through her representative, the First Lady said the initiative was designed to remind elderly Nigerians that they are appreciated, valued and not forgotten, especially during the festive season.
“Our elderly citizens deserve care, dignity and appreciation for their years of contribution to nation-building. This programme is one of the ways we are saying that you matter and that you are not forgotten,” she said.
