The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu on Tuesday urged Nigerians to look beyond the prevailing situation in the country and see the bigger picture which has light at the end of the tunnel.
Senator Tinubu spoke while receiving Wives of Service Chiefs and the Inspector General of Police led by the wife of the Chief of Defence Staff and President, the Defence and Police Wives Association, Mrs Oghogho Musa.
The First Lady assured that the administration is doing everything possible to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal until the gains of the policy begin to materialize.
She said her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative, is also supporting the government, hence she is soliciting the support of the wives of the Service Chiefs to extend hands of fellowship to the programme.
“We will need your various Associations from time to time, at least to be able to reach out women in your various barracks, to reassure them that we mean well for this country, and that they should be patient and that whatever we can do to ameliorate what the subsidy has meted to us, we believe there is always light at the end of the tunnel.”
“It is a greater Nigeria we are looking out for and it is a legacy that our children and generations yet unborn, we would leave a Nigeria we can relate better as Nigerians and also look for the good of this nation and the wealth of this country can be greater enhanced.”
The First Lady also promised that the RHI would soon be reaching out to vulnerable widows of fallen officers in the military.
Earlier, leader of the delegation assured that the various Associations under Defence and Police Officers wives are poised to partner with the Renewed Hope Initiative in all areas of its scope of coverage namely Agriculture, Education, Health, Economic Empowerment and Social Investment, adding that “these are all areas of interest to all the Associations.”
Media aide to the wife of the President Busola Kukoyi said the First lady was decorated as the Grand Matron of the Defence and Police Officers Wives Association, as enshrined in the constitution of the various associations.
