Anambra: First Lady’s visit to strengthen collaboration on food security – Official

Mrs Tinubu is scheduled to visit Anambra on Thursday.

Law Mefor, Anambra commissioner for information and value reorientation, says the state is ready to receive the First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, on her working visit.

He said this in a statement ahead of Mrs Tinubu’s visit to Anambra on Thursday.

According to him, the visit will feature the launch of the National Community Food Bank Programme for the South-east and the commissioning of an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko.

Mr Mefor said the food bank, under the Renewed Hope Initiative, would support vulnerable groups, including children, nursing mothers, widows, elderly persons and persons living with disabilities.

He said the ICT centre would equip students with digital skills and complement the state government’s efforts in technology and innovation.

The commissioner said that communities, market women, youth groups, students and traditional institutions had been mobilised to welcome the First Lady.

He said the visit would underscore the commitment of the federal government and the Anambra State Government to improving livelihoods and creating opportunities for vulnerable residents.
