On Thursday, Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, announced a donation of N819 million to assist 1,638 widows of fallen military and police personnel during the second edition of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Social Investment Programme for Widows of Fallen Heroes in Abuja. The allocation includes N657.5 million for 1,315 widows of military personnel and N161.5 million for 323 widows of police officers.

Each widow will receive N500,000 to support the establishment or expansion of their businesses. Tinubu emphasized that the funds were already being credited to the beneficiaries' accounts through Zenith Bank, with the presentation being symbolic.
