ABUJA — Nigeria’s First Lady and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to youth development and support, urging Nigerian youth to remain hardworking, upright, and rooted in faith.
Speaking at a presentation ceremony held at the State House, Abuja, Senator Tinubu handed over seven brand-new hybrid 14-seater buses to the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), fulfilling a promise made to the group earlier in the year.
The presentation, which coincided with the second anniversary of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, was described by the First Lady as a symbolic gesture of gratitude to God and recognition of the vital role youth play in national development.
“You can’t love without giving,” the First Lady said. “So, anytime we profess love to people, we must back it up with giving. As you have chosen Christ, you must live as true followers of Christ—embracing truth and doing what is right and pleasing to God.”
She encouraged the youth to make effective use of the vehicles in their evangelism and community outreach missions, describing the donation as a token of the administration’s love and hope for the next generation of leaders.
“On behalf of RHI, and out of love for you as our children—we believe you’ll all be achievers in this nation—we present these vehicles to you. Let them serve as tools for ministry and service to others,” she added.
Receiving the donation on behalf of YOWICAN, National Chairman Michael Enwere Belosochukwu expressed deep appreciation to the First Lady and the RHI team.

“These buses will go a long way in easing the burden we face during evangelism and organisational activities. We thank our mother, the First Lady, for her generosity and kind heart,” he said.
The buses are designated for use in the six geopolitical zones as well as the YOWICAN National Secretariat.
