Remi Tinubu
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the National Chairperson of Renewed Hope Initiative Foundation (RHIF) and First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated N500 million to 500 families affected by communal crisis in Plateau State.
The First Lady, through her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), disbursed the relief/resettlement package to the affected families through Governor Caleb Mutfwang during a ceremony at the Government House yesterday in Jos, the state capital.
The First Lady said the gesture was aimed at helping the beneficiaries to recover from the impact of the conflicts in their communities.
She said: “I am aware of the unfortunate crisis that bedeviled the state, particularly Mangu people. The report got me worried and concerned about the destruction of peace of the affected families. I can imagine the destruction of lives and properties.
“A time like this is not to come and express our sympathies but to take concrete actions to alleviate the sufferings of those affected. That is why we are here today, not just to sympathise with you but to offer our meager support.”
Senator Tinubu assured the beneficiaries that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration remained committed to pursuing dialogue and reconciliation among Nigerians to foster lasting peace, not only in Plateau State but in all parts of the country.
She added: “This N500 million is our modest support to enable affected families renew their lives, provide them with the means to renew their shelter and other essential needs.
“To the affected families, I want you to know that they are not alone in the journey of recovery. We stand with you in solidarity and prayers. I urge you not to lose hope but have faith in God.”
The First Lady urged well-meaning Nigerians to assist these affected families.
