Education will boost women rights, First Lady declares

First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, yesterday, stressed the need for qualitative education for the girl child.

Speaking at the quarterly meeting with Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Zonal and State Coordinators, Mrs Tinubu said with education, girls and women would be able to make informed decisions relating to their health and others.

The meeting was an opportunity for the wife of the President to felicitate with all Muslim faithful on the ongoing Ramadan fast.

The wife of the President informed the meeting that TETFUND was partnering with the RHI on infrastructural and human capital development for tertiary institutions.

“You are to nominate a tertiary institution in your state, it could be federal or state owned. The first phase of this intervention would be per zone.”

She appealed to wives of the governors, who are coordinators to avail their states the opportunity being provided through the programmes as the citizens would be the direct beneficiaries.
