The Ondo State Government says it is set for the visit of the First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, on Thursday in Akure, the state capital.
While in Ondo, Senator Remi Tinubu will distribute professional kits to 10,000 nurses and midwives from South-West states.
The Special Adviser to the Governor. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on Women Affairs and Mobilisation, Dr Seun Osamaye, stated this at a news conference on Wednesday in Akure.
Dr Osamaye said that the wife of the president would be in Ondo State between April 17 and April 18 .
She said the distribution was a unique step towards strengthening the country’s health sector.
Dr Osamaye explained that during the First Lady’s visit, 200 women in textile production would benefit from another programme aimed at boosting their business.
She described both initiatives portrayal of President Bola Tinubu’s administration impact across the country and also as a catalyst for rapid development.
Osamaye said the women were drawn from across the states with no political affiliation and were identified through different segments of engagement.
“We also have the educational support programme, where students are given cash and a help allowance.
We also have the Women in Cultural Support Programme empowerment and also the Youth Empowerment Programme, where women are privileged to benefit from this intervention.”
“At least over 1,000 have benefited from cash grants and training. And some of our young students in secondary schools have been inculcated into the young farmers’ club. Also, some of our youth in primary schools have been inculcated into the young farmers’ club,” she said.
She said that the state had benefited from several of Mrs Tinubu’s interventions, which ranged from the educational support programme, scholarships to students with disability. Whether you are an indigent or you are a resident of a state, you are entitled automatically to benefit from this government.
“And so far, that’s what we have been doing and that’s what we’ll continue to do. So there is no political affiliation in the distribution. What is important is that we have been able to identify several segments of our women. This government is one that people don’t stress themselves to get what they desire. It is not an abusive government,” she said
Dr Osamaye later assured visitors of adequate security of lives and property, urging people to come out en masse to welcome the wife of the president.
