Oluremi Tinubu Urges Nigerian Market Women to Maintain Stable Of Festive Season
She made this appeal in Ebonyi State while speaking to women at the 2024 Women’s Day Celebration held at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki.
“With the Festive season fast approaching, the First Lady appealed to market women to refrain from unfair hikes in prices of food items during the festive season,” said Busola Kukoyi, her media aide, in a statement on Saturday.
During her visit, Tinubu inaugurated a 3.1-kilometre runway at the Wilberforce Chuba Okadigbo International Airport in Onueke, noting that it would enhance the state’s socio-economic growth.
“Nigeria has everything it takes for us to be a great nation,” she said during an interaction with Ebonyi traditional rulers.
The First Lady commended Governor Francis Nwifuru for exceeding 35 per cent female representation in appointments, announcing his plan to empower 130 businesses with N1million each.
She added, “As RHI, we did not come empty-handed. We are donating a sum of N50million, 20,000 wrappers, shoes and bags to support businesses of women in that line, in this state.”
