First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has flagged off the National Community Food Bank Programme in Anambra State, aimed at tackling child malnutrition in the South-East states of the country.<\/p>\n

With the flag-off, the First Lady has completed the national rollout of the intervention across the six geopolitical zones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, the First Lady noted that political leanings must be put aside to address the needs of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Addressing residents of the state who gathered at the Alex Ekwueme Square to welcome her, Senator Oluremi Tinubu described the zonal rollout of the initiative across the country as a mission accomplished, noting that there is hope for Nigerian children.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She added that the South-East rollout of the intervention should spark renewed multi-level interest in nutrition for children across the country.<\/p>\n

Senator Oluremi Tinubu commended the Anambra State Governor and his wife for their various policies and programmes, which she said were evidence of the progressive ideological outlook of the State Governor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During her one-day first official visit to the state, the First Lady also inaugurated a new RHI\/TETFUND ICT Experience Centre situated at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko.<\/p>\n

While interacting with some of the students in one of the lecture theatres, the First Lady urged them to look at constructive ways to use technology, particularly AI.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She encouraged them to join the Environment Society to proffer workable solutions to challenges facing the sector.<\/p>\n

The First Lady noted that pushing the frontiers of digital learning in the country with the inauguration of a new RHI\/TETFUND ICT Experience Centre is a priority for the Renewed Hope Initiative.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While flagging off the distribution of empowerment items provided by the state government to 5,000 beneficiaries, the First Lady announced a financial grant of N100,000 each to the beneficiaries in support of the intervention.<\/p>\n

For Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, the partnership between the Federal and Anambra State governments is progressive and helping to build a framework that leaves no one behind.<\/p>\n

As a mark of appreciation for her contributions to national development and strong support for her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the First Lady was conferred with the traditional title of Ugoeze of Anambra by the Chairman of the State Traditional Rulers Council, HRM Igwe Chidubem Iweka.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
