Oluremi Tinubu Launches Women Empowerment Initiative in Enugu

On October 30, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, launched the South-East Women Mega Empowerment initiative at Okpara Square in Enugu. This event was part of the All Progressives Congress’ Women Mobilisation Directorate campaign across the six geopolitical zones.

During the rally, empowerment materials such as sewing machines, food processors, electricity generating sets, and popcorn machines were distributed to women from Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi, Imo, and Anambra states. Senator Tinubu conveyed a message from President Bola Tinubu, stating that Nigeria is moving towards prosperity due to recent economic reforms.

She likened the reform process to childbirth, emphasizing that while it may be painful, it leads to positive outcomes. Additionally, she announced future empowerment programs for women and elderly persons in Enugu State, including funding for 250 women and 250 elderly beneficiaries.

The event was attended by notable figures, including Hajiya Nana Shettima and several state governors.
