\u2022Says Mr. President Loves to See Nigerians Cared For<\/b><\/p>\n

The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed the Federal Government\u2019s commitment to the comprehensive inclusion and empowerment of displaced members of society\u2014one city at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

She made this known in Keffi, Nasarawa State, while commissioning the <\/span>Oluremi Tinubu Renewed Hope Resettlement City<\/span> in the Yar-Kade community, established by the <\/span>National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The First Lady described the Resettlement City as a major milestone in the nation\u2019s ongoing efforts to restore hope, dignity, safety, and patriotism to Nigerians displaced by insurgency, banditry, communal clashes, and natural disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to witness the resettlement of 40 households, comprising 239 individuals, into a safe and dignified environment. This development reaffirms the commitment of the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, which aims to enhance social welfare programmes for all Nigerians,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senator Tinubu emphasized that resettlement must be accompanied by empowerment and skill acquisition.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\u201cI am glad to learn that 100 hectares of farmland have been secured for the families to cultivate for food and income. It is also encouraging to hear that the Resettlement City is equipped with greenhouses, vocational training centres, a police station, a church, and a mosque. This will no doubt go a long way in helping the families to settle down and become self-reliant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The First Lady urged the new residents to contribute positively to their host community:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo the families being resettled here today, I say: this is a new dawn. I urge you to continue to be law-abiding and live peacefully with your host community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She also presented bags of rice, clothing, and other relief items to the residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joining her at the ceremony was the Governor of Nasarawa State, Dr. Abdullahi Sule, who described the Resettlement City as more than a physical structure, calling it \u201ca symbol of hope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet living in the camp mold you and prepare you for the future,\u201d he said, while also commending President Tinubu\u2019s efforts in improving national security. He expressed optimism that with increased cooperation from communities, lasting peace would be achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda<\/span>, praised the First Lady\u2019s social inclusion initiatives, which he said have reassured the resettled families that they are \u201cheard, seen, and valued.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBy this gesture, you are giving them hope and dignity, and restoring a promising future to the children. That\u2019s what Mr. President stands for\u2014and that\u2019s what true Renewed Hope means,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also speaking at the event, the <\/span>Minister for Women Affairs, Imaan Suleiman Ibrahim<\/span>, supported the First Lady\u2019s effort by awarding business recapitalization grants of \u20a6200,000 to each of the 40 households.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, <\/span>Geoffrey Bitrus<\/span> expressed gratitude to the First Lady, saying the community now looks forward to the future with hope restored.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other dignitaries at the commissioning included the <\/span>Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Bage (Rtd.)<\/span>, <\/span>Senator Bashir Lado<\/span>, Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, and <\/span>Mohammed Malick Fall<\/span>, the United Nations Resident Coordinator.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Oluremi Tinubu Renewed Hope Resettlement City<\/span> currently houses 239 people from 40 families, including refugees from Cameroon and Sudan. The facility is equipped with solar-powered electricity, a school, clinic, mosque, church, and other modern amenities.<\/span><\/p>\n
