First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has unveiled a N110 million empowerment package for elderly citizens and persons with disabilities in each of Nigeria's 109 senatorial districts, delivered through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI). The package includes N55 million each for the RHI Economic Empowerment Programme for Persons with Disabilities and the RHI Elderly Support Scheme, with 250 beneficiaries in each category receiving N200,000 per district.
Mrs Tinubu urged All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidates to oversee distribution, emphasizing that support must reach deserving individuals regardless of political affiliation. The programs will be implemented through a senatorial district model, following consultations with political leaders, and are set to coincide with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December and the Elderly Support Scheme on 17 December.
