I attended the National Council for Women's Societies (NCWS) Biennial Convention in Abuja on April 25th 2024, where I represented the First Lady of the Federation, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON at the National Centre for Women Development.

In her speech at the Biennial Convention of the National Council for Women Societies, the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, expressed her delight at being the Grand Patron of the Council and commended the resilience, passion, and commitment of Nigerian women. She emphasized the vital role of women in driving progress and development in society and highlighted the efforts of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) in promoting education, health, agriculture, social investment, and economic empowerment for women.

The First Lady announced upcoming and ongoing activities of the RHI, including the "Every Home a Garden" competition, the launch of the "Young Farmers’ Club" in public schools, and the #One Nigeria/unity fabric competition. She also shared her recent appointment as a Global and National Stop TB Champion and called for support from the private sector, development partners, and individuals to invest in women.
