Furthermore, Tinubu assured the governors’ wives that the implementation of the RHI would not interfere with their personal programs or projects, emphasizing that it would complement their individual efforts.

Her words: “I wish to remind each of us that the exalted positions we are in today should be seen as an opportunity to impact more meaningfully, not only in the lives of people in your states but in Nigeria as a whole.” 

Following the meeting, Ambassador Olufolake Abdulrazak, the wife of the governor of Kwara State, expressed her assurance of the support and commitment of the governors’ wives towards the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
