In a show of compassion and national solidarity, Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated ₦1 billion, alongside essential supplies such as food and clothing, to communities affected by violent conflict in Plateau State.

The donation, made under the banner of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), was announced during her visit to the state. According to a statement issued by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady’s gesture is part of her broader humanitarian outreach to vulnerable Nigerians affected by insecurity and displacement.

Addressing victims and community stakeholders during the visit, Mrs. Tinubu described the situation as heartbreaking and called on traditional rulers, elders, and opinion leaders to take active roles in peacebuilding.

“I come here not just as First Lady, but as a mother whose heart bleeds,” she said. “Let this be the last time we gather under such tragic circumstances. Do not allow the serpent to strike again—mend the broken edge. This land must remain the Plateau of peace and tourism.”

She appealed to men to protect the women and children in their communities and urged youths to reject violence, embrace reconciliation, and work toward rebuilding social and economic life—including agriculture and local trade.

Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, who received the donation on behalf of the state, pledged transparency and accountability in managing the funds. He assured the First Lady and the people of Plateau that the intervention would directly benefit the victims without interference from political elites.

“Wherever the edge has been broken, we will mend it,” Governor Mutfwang stated. “I take full responsibility to ensure that no elite hijacks this support—it will go to the people it is meant for.”

The event drew attendance from key stakeholders, including Hajia Nana Shettima, wife of the Vice President; traditional and religious leaders; youth and market associations; and senior officials from security agencies.

Mrs. Tinubu’s visit and generous donation mark a significant step toward restoring hope and dignity to the displaced and traumatized residents of Plateau State, reinforcing the commitment of the presidency to peace, healing, and national unity.
