President Bola Tinubu’s wife, Sen. Oluremi has donated N1 billion as part of her commitment to the fight against Tuberculosis in Nigeria through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
Speaking during her investiture as the “Global and National Stop TB Champion” at the State House in Abuja, Tinubu charged wives of the 36 state governors to further raise awareness towards ensuring that the treatable disease is brought to the barest minimum.
The first Lady also praised the role of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in raising awareness which has led to a significant improvement in case finding and treatment coverage of the disease.
Earlier, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare Prof. Ali Pate attributed the success recorded so far in the fight against the disease to a collective effort of not only the healthcare sector but all Nigerians.
He noted that this should be sustained in view of the evidence of the great political will demonstrated by the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Present at the event were former First Lady Mrs Turai Yar’Adua and wives of former Vice Presidents, Alh. Atiku Abubakar and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo – Hajia Titi Atiku Abubakar and Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, among others.
