She requested support from the wives of Service Chiefs in propagating this cause.

In a statement released by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady articulated, “We will need your various Associations from time to time, at least to be able to reach out women in your various barracks, to reassure them that we mean well for this country, and that they should be patient and that whatever we can do to ameliorate what the subsidy has meted to us, we believe there is always light at the end of the tunnel.”

She further added, “It is a greater Nigeria we are looking out for and it is a legacy that our children and generations yet unborn, we would leave a Nigeria we can relate better as Nigerians and also look for the good of this nation and the wealth of this country can be greater enhanced”.

The First Lady also promised that the RHI would soon extend its support to vulnerable widows of fallen military personnel.

Leading the delegation, Mrs. Oghogho Musa, President of the Defence and Police Officers Wives Association, affirmed the commitment of various Associations within the Defence and Police circles to collaborate with the Renewed Hope Initiative across its areas of focus, including Agriculture, Education, Health, Economic Empowerment, and Social Investment. These facets, she noted, are of collective interest to the Associations.

In a notable recognition, the First Lady was elevated to the position of Grand Matron of the Defence and Police Officers Wives Association, a designation entrenched in the associations’ constitution.

The Senate on Tuesday lamented the collapse of the 21-storey building in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

The senate position followed a point of order raised on the matter by the senator representing Lagos Central Senatorial District, Oluremi Tinubu.

Members of the red chamber observed a minute silence in honour of the victims of the building collapse.

About 42 persons were killed after the 21-storey building collapsed last week in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Tinubu said 16 persons were rescued alive, while efforts were ongoing to rescue others still trapped in the ill-fated building.

The Senate President Ahmad Lawan, in his remarks, urged professional bodies to ensure that only competent and qualified professionals were involved in construction works.

Lawan charged the Council of Registered Engineers of Nigeria and other institutes in the construction industry to ensure that only professionals were engaged for building projects.

He said, “This is one collapse too many and it is unfortunate. This is to call on the leadership of COREN and other professional bodies in the construction industry to maintain the highest degree of competence. They should also ensure that only qualified and certified professionals are engaged in construction to avert the type of tragedy that happened in Ikoyi.”
