Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Lady Valerie Siminalayi Fubara has disclosed that about 6,800 families have so far benefitted from the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) programme in Rivers State.
Fubara made the disclosure yesterday during the distribution of food items to vulnerable groups at Government House, Port Harcourt. The gesture is part of the Social Investments Programme of the Renewed Hope Initiative, the pet project of Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady.
The First Lady of Rivers State said that beyond the distribution of food items, the programme has supported the people of the state through the provision of local and foreign scholarships as well as funding for agriculture and social investments.
The Renewed Hope Initiative, Fubara said, has stood with the people of Rivers State via women empowerment programmes, assistance to petty traders, support for persons living with disabilities, elderly care initiatives and other interventions.
According to her, these interventions have positively touched thousands of lives across communities in Rivers State, as over 1,800 families benefited directly from yesterday’s food distribution scheme.
