What was initially meant for 1,000 beneficiaries quickly expanded to 2,000, as the wife of Cross River State governor, Eyoawan Otu, stepped in to add another 1,000 slots to ensure that women across the state’s three senatorial districts are not left out.
Representing the First Lady at the event, Eyoawan Otu emphasized Oluremi Tinubu’s commitment to empowering women nationwide, assuring that the Renewed Hope Initiative will continue to extend a helping hand to those most in need.
