By Salihu Mohammed

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has pledged N100 million to support victims of the recent Dikko tanker explosion in Niger State.

During a solidarity visit alongside the Vice President’s wife, Hajiya Nana Shettima, and Niger State’s First Lady, Hajiya Fatima Bago, she described the donation as a complement to ongoing state relief efforts.

Tinubu commended Governor Mohammed Bago’s agricultural reforms, while Bago hailed her visit as a reinforcement of the federal government’s Renewed Hope agenda.

Traditional leaders, led by the Etsu Nupe, called for expanded agricultural support to align with national development goals.

The visit also included courtesy calls on former Heads of State, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar, recognizing their enduring contributions to Nigeria’s progress.
