Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Nigerians living abroad to demonstrate greater commitment to their home country by supporting ongoing national development efforts.
She made the appeal during a courtesy visit from Dr. Phillips Ozuah, President and CEO of Montefiore Medicine in the United States, at the State House in Abuja.
The First Lady expressed pride in Dr. Ozuah’s achievements abroad, particularly his philanthropic contributions to Nigeria’s health sector, and urged other members of the diaspora to leverage their knowledge, influence, and resources to uplift their country of origin.
Through the Renewed Hope Initiative, Senator Tinubu’s office has prioritized education and other social intervention programs aimed at uplifting vulnerable groups, with a focus on maternal and child health.
Dr. Ozuah praised the First Lady’s ongoing advocacy for both local and international support towards Nigeria’s development and expressed interest in collaborating with the Renewed Hope Initiative to improve the lives of women and children in Nigeria.
