Nigeria’s First Lady Elected to OAFLAD Steering Committee

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has been elected as a member of the Steering Committee of the Organization of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD), the highest decision-making body of the organization.

Her election took place during the 29th Ordinary General Assembly of OAFLAD, held in Addis Ababa on the sidelines of the 38th African Union Summit Ordinary Session.

Senator Tinubu joins the eight-member Steering Committee as one of two representatives from West Africa. Other elected members include Sierra Leone, whose First Lady now serves as President of the organization, Angola as Vice President, alongside Malawi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo.

She will serve a two-year tenure in this position.

Already a prominent voice within OAFLAD, Senator Tinubu is expected to further champion the organization’s advocacy initiatives and contribute to the realization of its 2025-2030 Strategic Framework.
