The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged fellow Nigerians to look beyond the present difficulties in the country and exercise patience to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Senator Tinubu gave the assurance while hosting wives of Service Chiefs and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), led by the wife of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and President of the Defence and Police Wives’ Association, Mrs. Oghogho Musa.

A statement yesterday in Abuja by her spokesperson Busola Kukoyi said the First Lady assured fellow Nigerians that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration was doing everything possible to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal and ensure that the gains of the policy materialize for general prosperity.

She said her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), was supporting the government to reduce the impact of the fuel subsidy removal on the citizenry.

Senator Tinubu said this was the reason she solicited the support of the wives of the Service Chiefs for the initiative to succeed.

“We will need your various associations from time to time, at least, to be able to reach out to women in your various barracks, to reassure them that we mean well for this country. They should be patient. Whatever we can do to ameliorate what the subsidy has meted to us, we believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

“It is a greater Nigeria we are looking out for. It is a legacy for our children and generations yet unborn. We will leave a Nigeria we can relate better with as Nigerians. We look for the good of this nation, and the wealth of this country can be greatly enhanced,” she said.

The First Lady also promised that the RHI would soon be reaching out to widows of fallen military officers.

Mrs. Musa assured Senator Tinubu that the various associations under Defence and Police Officers’ Wives were poised to partner the Renewed Hope Initiative in all areas of its scope of coverage, namely: Agriculture, Education, Health, Economic Empowerment and Social Investment.

She stressed that such areas were of interest to all the associations.

The First lady was decorated as the Grand Matron of the Defence and Police Officers’ Wives’ Association, as enshrined in the constitutions of the various associations.
