Oluremi Tinubu Launches Women’s Empowerment Programme For North Central Zone

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has launched the North Central Zone Women’s Empowerment Programme, aiming to boost women’s economic empowerment and sustainable development.

This initiative, led by the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) and the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (OSSAP-SDGs), will impact 18,500 women across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.

The program starts with 500 beneficiaries from each state in the North Central Zone, providing them with essential tools like deep-chest freezers, gas cookers with ovens, generators, and industrial grinding machines.

These resources will help women start or expand their businesses, fostering economic independence and contributing to national development.

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu emphasized the critical role of women in nation-building and the initiative’s alignment with global development goals, particularly SDG-5 on gender equality and SDG-8 on decent work and economic growth.

The program is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, prioritizing inclusivity, economic growth, and sustainable development for all Nigerians.
