Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu has intensified efforts to address hunger and child malnutrition through the establishment of community food banks and expanded food outreach programmes under the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), saying one of te major goals of the distribution is to hellp every Nigerian pursue their aspirations, no matter their circumstances.
BusinessDay reports that the initiative, aimed at improving access to nutritious food and strengthening community support systems, was extended to Ondo State on Tuesday as vulnerable groups benefited from the RHI Social Investment Programme Food Outreach Scheme held at the International Culture and Event Centre (The Dome), Akure.
Tinubu, who spoke at the event through the wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima, said the intervention is part of the Renewed Hope Initiative’s commitment to supporting vulnerable Nigerians and ensuring children have the opportunity to grow, remain healthy and thrive.
She said the Food Outreach Scheme was launched in March 2024 to provide food items to persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, thereby supporting their families and improving their well-being.
According to her, the programme was made possible through the commitment of two donors who provide two truckloads of food items to the Renewed Hope Initiative every month, allowing two states to benefit monthly.
