Awka—Anambra State is set to host the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Thursday, September 10, 2026, in what will be her first official visit to the state since assuming office.
The visit is expected to strengthen the partnership between the Federal Government and Anambra State on programmes aimed at poverty reduction, economic empowerment, food security and improving the livelihoods of vulnerable citizens.
A major highlight of the visit will be the empowerment of 5,000 residents under the Progressives United Against Poverty Initiative, a programme being implemented in partnership with the Anambra State Government in support of the First Lady’s Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI, Economic Support Scheme.
The initiative is designed to provide beneficiaries with practical economic support and opportunities to improve their livelihoods, particularly households and individuals requiring assistance to become more economically productive.
