The First Lady of Nigeria and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated N500 million and essential relief materials to victims of the recent flood disaster in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

The donation, made under the RHI platform, also included 100 bales of Ankara fabrics and other essentials. The gesture was officially announced during a presentation ceremony held at the Government House in Yola on Tuesday.

Represented by the wife of the Vice President and RHI National Vice Chairman, Hajiya Nana Shettima, Senator Tinubu described the initiative as a show of solidarity with the people of Adamawa during their time of loss. She noted that the relief support was made possible through generous contributions to RHI, notably from the Abdul Samad Rabiu Africa Initiative.

A symbolic distribution of materials was conducted for some of the 1,800 affected households during the event.

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, represented by his deputy, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta, expressed appreciation for the First Lady’s timely response. He confirmed that the flood had claimed 29 lives and assured that the state government would ensure transparent and fair distribution of the relief items to the victims.
