Nigeria is a work in progress that is poised to make a huge difference under the current administration, especially with critical internal and external supports.

First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu stated this, while granting audience to Spouses of Heads of Missions to Nigeria in her office.

Tinubu pointed out that there has been a gradual, but steady improvement in the nation which she believed would be sustained for greater impact.

She confirmed enormous steps, taken through her Renewed Hope Initiative toward ensuring that education of the Nigerian child, health, and livelihood of the average Nigerian wasimproved.

Highlighting the problem of Almajiri, she once again emphasized that the problem is not insurmountable.

“When you said you would like to educate all of us, that will be great, Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and that is a huge number.

We have like 18.5 million of this group not having any formal education at all, this are children looking for Islamic education, we are still looking at that and the weight alone is something else”.

The First Lady thanked the visiting group for all they have been doing for Nigerian Women and Children noting that Women form the fulcrum of great nations.

Wife of the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Sigalit Freeman, who led two other members of ( the association of spouses of heads of Mission), wives of Guinea Bissau and Canadian ambassadors, commended Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her efforts not just as Nigerian First Lady but in times past as a Legislator and Governors Wife.

Freeman pointed out that the group came calling in acknowledgement of the First Lady’s interest in promoting the well being of vulnerable groups in the country and seek ways of collaboration.

She explained that part of the aim of the group was to ensure that all Nigerians especially women and children are learned.
