First Lady donates N14.25m to Abuja flood victims
The First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s pet-project, Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), has donated N14. 25 million cash to some victims of a recent flood disaster at the TradeMore Estate in Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
A statement yesterday in Abuja by the Special Adviser to the First Lady on Media, Busola Kukoyi, said 57 households, which were affected by the flood, got N250,000.00 each from an outreach by the RHI.
The First Lady, who was represented by the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, expressed sympathy over the flood disaster.
Acknowledging that there is no certainty in preventing a recurrence of such incidents, especially during the rainy season, Senator Tinubu expressed the hope that the outreach and intervention of the RHI would considerably mitigate the hardships they were facing.
According to her, though the RHI is still in the process of registration by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), she cannot ignore the current situation affecting the TradeMore Estate, which falls within her jurisdiction.
On behalf of the beneficiaries, Chairman of the Resident Association, Dr. Adewale Adenaike, thanked the First Lady and the RHI for the kindness and support they extended to the flood victims in their trying times.
