First Lady Remi Tinubu on Tuesday announced a ₦1 billion donation by the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) to support families displaced by a suspected herders’ attack in Benue State.
The announcement was made during her condolence visit to the state at the New Banquet Hall of the Benue State Government House, following the tragic incident in Yelewata community in June, which claimed over 100 lives.
She explained that the donation is in line with the mission of the Renewed Hope Initiative, aimed at helping affected families regain stability, rebuild their livelihoods, and work towards a more secure and hopeful future.
“On behalf of the governing council of the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI will be making a donation of ₦1 billion to help displaced families get back on their feet, return to earning a living, and have a better life.
“This is in line with the objectives of the Renewed Hope Initiative as captured in our motto: Towards a Better Life for Families,” Remi Tinubu stated.
The First Lady said she is deeply saddened by the killings that have occurred in recent weeks in the state.
“As a mother, I urge all of us to learn to accept this times as very challenging time. Our job is to play complementary and supportive role.
“It is heart wrenching to believe that people want to live in peace then destruction will come suddenly.
