Remi Tinubu empowers 800 women, inaugurates projects in Kogi State

The projects include the newly completed Kogi State Treasury House and a Primary Healthcare Centre in Lokongoma Phase I, Lokoja. Speaking at the inauguration, Tinubu highlighted these projects as significant investments for improving public service delivery and residents' welfare, commending Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for prioritizing healthcare and infrastructure. At the Government House, the First Lady launched the distribution of empowerment materials and start-up grants to over 800 women through the Renewed Hope Initiative.

Tinubu encouraged beneficiaries to use the support to expand their businesses and improve their livelihoods. She also praised Hajia Sefinat Ododo, the wife of the Kogi State Governor, for her work in improving the welfare of women and vulnerable persons.

Governor Ododo thanked the First Lady for her visit and support, assuring that his administration would continue to implement projects that enhance access to healthcare, infrastructure, and other essential public services, and that the new facilities would be maintained.
