Nigeria’s First Lady and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has made donations of three mobile clinic units under the RHI’s Love on Wheels project to boost healthcare delivery in underserved areas.
Speaking at the handover ceremony in Abuja, Mrs. Tinubu described the initiative as “care in action, a motion to strengthen health care delivery beyond hospital walls, improve access, shorten response times, and support flexible services, especially in emergencies and underserved areas through professional health care givers.”
Two of the mobile clinics were pledged to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on January 23, 2025, during the commissioning of the Nigerian Digital Museum in Abuja.
She explained the delay in delivery stemmed from building the clinics from scratch to certification standards. The third clinic goes to Taraba State Government, promised during her official visit to the State on April 11, 2025, amid a health programme for frontline health workers.
Emphasising non-partisan service, she highlighted the handover to Taraba, then under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), administration.
“I said it would be good, despite they were from a different party. I said that from the beginning, we’re all Nigerians. Party politics aside, but we have to provide a dividend of democracy to our people. And it’s people first before party, and that’s what we’ve been doing,”
“We are not afraid to campaign, when campaign starts, we’ll campaign. But when we visit states, it’s to reach out to every Nigerian, every concerned Nigerian that needs whatever little we have to offer.
“It is my prayer that our efforts through RHI’s Love on Wheels project will be used responsibly and effectively to help save lives, respond to emergencies, and bring relief to families and communities“, she said.
