The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has empowered 1,000 petty traders in Oyo State through the disbursement of cash grants under the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI). The initiative, a flagship programme of her office, aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of inclusive economic growth and grassroots empowerment.

During the event, the First Lady emphasized the importance of supporting small-scale traders who form a vital part of the informal economy. She explained that the cash support is aimed at helping beneficiaries grow their businesses, increase household income, and contribute meaningfully to community development.

The RHI continues to roll out impactful interventions nationwide, focusing on economic empowerment, healthcare, and education for vulnerable groups. The Oyo intervention is one of many efforts being implemented across the country to support the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu and bring direct relief to everyday Nigerians.
