The first lady, Remi Tinubu, has donated ₦250,000 to each household affected by the June 23, 2023 flooding incident at the TradeMore Estate in Lugbe, Abuja.
The donation was processed through the former senator’s Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), a pet project she’s promised to use to better the lives of Nigerians.
57 affected families received their donations at a ceremony in the capital city on Thursday, July 13, 2023.
Tinubu was absent at the ceremony but was represented by Nana Shettima, the wife of Vice-President Kashim Shettima, who lamented about the unfortunate incident.
She expressed hope the initiative’s intervention would help reduce the pains of the families, but also showed concern the incident may recur due to the rainfall season.
