First Lady’s initiative expands food aid to Katsina and urges community food banks

Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, handed food items to Hajiya Zulaihat Dikko Radda for distribution to vulnerable residents in Katsina, the 30th beneficiary of the Renewed Hope Initiative food outreach. Supported by two partners donating two truckloads of food each month, the scheme has reached 29 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Tinubu urged governors to establish functional community food banks in each of their three senatorial districts. The national programme aims to tackle child malnutrition and support pregnant women and nursing mothers.
