Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has officially unveiled the National Community Food Bank Programme for the South-East geopolitical zone.
Tinubu performed the ceremony at the old Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia on Thursday, marking a major milestone in the Federal Government’s nationwide food security and social welfare drive.
The South-East zonal food bank initiative is structured to cushion vulnerable groups against economic hardships, directly targeting widows, the elderly, persons with disabilities, nursing mothers, and young children with essential food assistance and nutrition education.
Speaking at the event, the First Lady emphasised that the programme formed a core component of the Renewed Hope Initiative, aimed at grassroots development, reducing hunger, and directly improving human capital indices across Nigerian communities.
