The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated two state-of-the-art mobile clinics to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to strengthen its rural health programme.

The mobile clinics, donated under the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Health Support Programme, were formally presented at a ceremony held today at the Headquarters of the Nigerian Customs Service in Maitama, Abuja.

According to a press statement by Caroline Embu, Director, Information and Public Relations of NYSC, the Taraba State Government also received one mobile clinic at the event.

The statement said Senator Tinubu, who spoke at the occasion, commended successive batches of Corps Members for being drivers of the NYSC health interventions, adding that the donation of the mobile clinics would support the numerous medical outreaches of the Scheme, especially under its Health Initiative For Rural Dwellers (HIRD).

The First Lady added that her visit to Taraba State last year necessitated the donation of a mobile clinic to the State Government to complement its healthcare delivery efforts.

She said there was a need to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, irrespective of ethnic, party, or other affiliations.

“Love on wheels represents care in motion, to strengthen healthcare delivery beyond hospital wards, improve access, shorten response time and support flexible and reliable health services, especially in emergencies and underserved areas through professional healthcare givers,” she added.

Also speaking, the Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, described the First Lady’s gesture as a timely and strategic intervention that would significantly expand the HIRD.

General Nafiu said the Renewed Hope Initiative’s philosophy, anchored on the belief that “health is not a privilege but a right,” aligns perfectly with the NYSC’s mandate and ongoing efforts to deliver free healthcare services to underserved communities.

He explained that since the launch of the HIRD programme in 2014, NYSC medical personnel had provided free primary healthcare, maternal services, malaria testing, health education and disease prevention campaigns to more than four million Nigerians nationwide, with an average of about 360,000 beneficiaries annually.

He disclosed that in 2025 alone, over 6,300 corps medical personnel, including more than 2,300 doctors, were deployed to remote areas to improve access to healthcare.

He said the two new mobile clinics would greatly enhance operational capacity by allowing the NYSC to reach more communities simultaneously and treat tens of thousands of additional beneficiaries.

“What has been done today has renewed the hope of millions of Nigerians,” he said, adding that the donation should be seen not just as support, but also as a challenge to the Scheme to do more in extending government presence and quality healthcare to those who need it most.

BeeBeeOoh:
The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”

Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.

She noted that while the Tinubu-led administration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.

The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s administration.

Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.

“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.

“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.

“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.

“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.

“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”

Ppogbae:
Does Emilokan have his own mobile clinic?

Cmanforall:
2 mobile clinics

It’s not for corp members, it’s for two rural communities in Nigeria.

That’s a wonderful thing that will revive the healthcare sector.
It will improve healthcare of all Nigerians.
No more strike actions from healthcare workers

STATUTORY FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 provides in the Fourth Schedule the main functions of Local Governments in Nigeria as follows: –

(a)the consideration and the making of recommendations to a State Commission on Economic Planning or any similar body on:
(i) the economic development of the State, particularly in so far as the areas of authority of the Council and of the State are affected, and
(ii) proposals made by the said Commission or body;
(b) collection of rates, radio and television licences;
(c) establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds and homes for the destitute or infirm;
(d) licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically-propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts;
(e) establishment, maintenance and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks and public conveniences;
(f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as maybe prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State;
(g) naming of roads and streets, and numbering of houses;
(h) provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage and refuse disposal;
(i) registration of all births, deaths and marriages;
(i) out-door advertising and hoarding;
(ii) movement and keeping of pets of all descriptions;
(iii) shops and kiosks;
(iv) restaurants, bakeries and other places for sale of food to the public,
(v) laundries, and
(vi) licensing, regulation and control of the sale of liquor.

Apart from these exclusive functions, the function of Local Governments shall include participation of such Councils in the government of a state as respects the following matters:
(a) the provision and maintenance of primary, adult and vocational education;
(b) the development of agriculture and natural resources other than the exploitation of minerals;
(c) the provision and maintenance of health services; and
(d) such other functions as may be conferred on a local Government Council by the House of Assembly of the State.

As provided for in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Local Governments have functions and responsibilities assigned.
Some of these functions are performed exclusively by the Local Government like the maintenance of cemeteries, markets and motor parks. On the other hand, some other functions and responsibilities are performed concurrently with the State Government. Among these concurrent functions are primary education, agriculture, health and any other functions that may be conferred on Local Government by the House of Assembly of the State.

As can be seen, these various functions and responsibilities of Local Governments are quite enormous and demanding. The tragedy of the situation is that Local Governments have very limited and circumscribed sources of revenue to enable them execute meaningfully and effectively the functions and responsibilities assigned to them.

In my local government at Ajeromi Ifelodun in Ajegunle, we have not felt the presence of local government at all, take for instance, the road from otto – wharf to Achakpo have never been maintained for as provided in the constitution, the question begging for an answer, is what do the Ajeromi Local Government do with money that go to them?

HOW IS YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT?, express your mind if indeed they are working now that you know their functions.

Godlyness:
This is a kind gesture from the first lady.

Cherrybae:
Donated without noise or posing on camera.

If it were to be peter Obi, you will see many pictures with his fake smile.

God bless our First Lady. Indeed our mother of the nation.

anonimi:
Could that have helped him from falling down flat in Turkey after his disastrously disgraceful fall in Eagle Square Abuja last year?

I guess that if he has made our country to fall down flat since he got his Emilokan turn to worsen APC extreme poverty shege, then his own physical fall is inevitable.

aariwa:
Which or whose money is she donating?Which law makers approved the spending….goes on to show how they continually steal from coffers and give people they stole from peanuts . Peter Obi never had office of First Lady throughout his 8 years and he never gave any of his appointees room to steal public monies

spontan:
What they should be doing as part of their responsibilities and official duties, they tag it "donations" so that they can earn cheap accolades.

How on earth is a sensitive and necessary project such as a healthcare project which was executed with public funds be called a "Donation"


And mind you, for those who'll come claiming that she's the first lady and not a political office holder, yadiyadiya, in as much as there is now an "office of the first lady", she has been classified as one and is entitled to federal allocations.

Did Remi Tinubu create
Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Health Support Programme
ChatGPT said:
Yes — the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), including its Health Support Programme, was created by Senator Oluremi “Remi” Tinubu. She is the founder and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative, which is a registered non-governmental organisation focused on social welfare, health, education, economic empowerment and more.

Here’s what we know clearly:

🌟 Who Created RHI
Senator Oluremi “Remi” Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, birthed the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) as a grassroots-enabled social impact platform that spans the six geopolitical zones, all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. It is aimed at improving the lives of women, children, youth and vulnerable groups across the country.

She serves as the Chairperson/National Chairman of RHI and drives its programmes and partnerships.

RHI Health Support Programme Part of That Initiative

The Health Support Programme (such as mobile clinic donations, free medical outreaches, vaccine and disease-prevention campaigns, maternal and child health interventions and other health-related activities) is implemented under the umbrella of RHI — meaning it’s one of the specific pillars or components of the broader initiative that she set up.

📌 How It Is Structured

RHI is not a government agency; it is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) supported by private and corporate donors and partnerships.

Its programmes — including health programmes — are designed to complement government efforts and extend services to underserved communities.

In short:
➡️ Senator Remi Tinubu created and leads the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
➡️ The RHI Health Support Programme is one of the initiative’s project areas under her leadership.

OredoPikin2:
And yet it is a news
Lolzzz

Again Obi is donating with his personal money.

Tinubu wife is not a donation but a project because she is did it with public funds not her money

WizardOfNG:
When the heart is hateful, it easily becomes ignorant naturally as a consequence.

The renewed hope initiative is an NGO Remi Tinubu created that has nothing to do with Government and is instead supported by private and corporate donors and partnerships.

The bolded in your post is therefore s a bare faced lie unless you can prove donations from businesses, private sector philanthropy and captains of industry donations( from Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Otedola, Adenuga, Ovia, Rabiu etal) is now "public fund".
