Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has congratulated First Lady Remi Tinubu on her 65th birthday, praising her as an inspiration to women and a strong pillar of support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Kalu described Tinubu as a passionate and kindhearted leader dedicated to selfless service to the nation.
Remi Tinubu’s achievements include her relentless advocacy for the advancement and well-being of the girl child, as well as promoting education for children, women, and the less privileged. Her initiatives have demonstrated a commitment to empowering women and youths, showcasing her passion for their development. Kalu also commended Tinubu for her support of the reserved seats bill, aimed at addressing gender disparities and promoting women’s inclusion in governance.
Instead of traditional birthday gifts, Remi Tinubu has requested that well-wishers donate to the completion of the National Library project, a cause close to her heart. She believes this would be the best birthday present she could receive, highlighting her love for education.
The public reaction to Tinubu’s initiative has been mixed, with some Nigerians praising her efforts while others have raised concerns about transparency and government accountability, questioning why private funds are being sought for a project under government supervision.
