RHI extends food intervention to Bauchi, reaches 29 states

The Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) has extended its Food Outreach Programme to Bauchi State, making it the 29th state to benefit from the intervention.

The food items were formally presented to the wife of the Bauchi State Governor and state coordinator of RHI, Hajiya Aisha Bala Mohammed, for distribution to persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups across the state.

Speaking at the event, First Lady and National Chairman of RHI, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, reaffirmed the initiative’s commitment to supporting vulnerable Nigerians through sustained food interventions and other social programmes.

Tinubu, who was represented by the wife of the Vice-President and National Vice Chairman of RHI, Hajiya Nana Shettima, said the food outreach had been sustained through the monthly contributions of two donors.

She identified the donors as the Abdul Samad Rabiu Africa Initiative (ASR Africa) and an anonymous donor, noting that the food consignment delivered to Bauchi was provided by the anonymous donor.

The First Lady expressed appreciation to both donors for their continued support towards tackling food insecurity and assisting vulnerable Nigerians.

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, described the intervention as impactful and a reflection of the compassionate leadership of the First Lady.

The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Mohammed Auwal Jatau, thanked Tinubu for her commitment to improving the welfare of vulnerable citizens.
