During her visit, Tinubu inaugurated a 3.1-kilometre runway at the Wilberforce Chuba Okadigbo International Airport in Onueke, noting that it would enhance the state’s socio-economic growth.
Oluremi, wife of President Bola Tinubu, has urged Nigerian market women to avoid hiking food prices as the festive season approaches.
She made this appeal in Ebonyi State while addressing women during the 2024 Women’s Day Celebration at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium, Abakaliki.
“With the Yuletide season fast approaching, the First Lady appealed to market women to refrain from unfair hikes in prices of food items during the festive season,” said Busola Kukoyi, her media aide, in a statement on Saturday.
During her visit, Tinubu inaugurated a 3.1-kilometre runway at the Wilberforce Chuba Okadigbo International Airport in Onueke, noting that it would enhance the state’s socio-economic growth.
“Nigeria has everything it takes for us to be a great nation,” she said during an interaction with Ebonyi traditional rulers.
The First Lady commended Governor Francis Nwifuru for exceeding 35 per cent female representation in appointments, announcing his plan to empower 130 businesses with N1million each.
She added, “As RHI, we did not come empty-handed. We are donating a sum of N50million, 20,000 wrappers, shoes and bags to support businesses of women in that line, in this state.”
