FIRST LADY OLUREMI TINUBU ASSURES YOUTHS OF CONTINUED GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
…Presents 7 Hybrid Buses to Youth Wing of Christian Association of Nigeria
The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to remain hardworking and upright, emphasizing that these values are essential for genuine progress in life.
She made this call at the State House in Abuja while fulfilling her promise to the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) by presenting seven hybrid 14-seater buses to the group.
The First Lady encouraged the youth to remain steadfast in their faith while also working diligently, stressing the importance of using the vehicles for the work of God and to support others in need.
“You can’t love without giving, so anytime we profess love to people, we should be able to back it up with giving. As you have chosen Christ, you should be good followers of Christ indeed — always embracing truth and doing what is right and pleasing before God.”
She continued:
“We could not have chosen a better day for this presentation than today, which marks the second anniversary of this administration. It is God who has sustained us, and giving to those serving Him in any capacity is a worthy way to celebrate.
“We believe God wants us to celebrate today. Rather than simply giving thanks privately for the journey so far, we are also giving back. Therefore, on behalf of the RHI — and out of our love for you as our children, because we believe you will all become achievers in this nation — we hand over these vehicles to you.”
The National Chairman of YOWICAN, Michael Enwere Belosochukwu, expressed profound gratitude on behalf of the association. He noted that the buses would significantly ease the challenges they face during evangelism and other activities.
“These buses will greatly enhance the work and operations of our organization. On behalf of YOWICAN nationwide and the entire Nigerian youth, we sincerely thank our mother, the First Lady, for her generosity and kind heart.”
Each of the vehicles is designated for the six geopolitical zones and the National Secretariat of YOWICAN.
Also present at the bus presentation were the Wife of the Vice President and National Vice Chairman of the RHI, Hajia Nana Shettima; the Wife of the Imo State Governor and National Secretary of the RHI, Barr. Chioma Uzodimma; the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission, Bishop S.T.V. Adegbite; and other dignitaries.
