Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, announced an empowerment initiative for elderly citizens, which will be implemented across the country's senatorial districts. The initiative includes two programs, each with a N55 million allocation, targeting 250 beneficiaries per program.
The RHI Economic Empowerment Program for Persons with Disabilities and the RHI Elderly Support Scheme will provide N200,000 each to 250 beneficiaries in every senatorial district. This announcement was made at a stakeholders' meeting attended by APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other APC members.
The First Lady emphasized that the program should benefit deserving individuals regardless of party affiliation and is designed to leverage the candidates' knowledge of their constituencies. She noted that this initiative reflects her commitment to the welfare of vulnerable Nigerians and is the fourth edition of the elderly support scheme.
Senate President Akpabio praised the First Lady for coordinating the intervention and confirmed President Bola Tinubu's support for the initiative.
