Ayodeji Rilwan Tinubu (ART) has expressed heartfelt congratulations to Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, OON, on her election to the prestigious Steering Committee of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD).
In a press release signed by Azeez Bamigboye on behalf of Ayodeji Rilwan, it shows that the significant milestone was achieved during the 29th Ordinary General Assembly of OAFLAD, which took place alongside the 38th African Union Summit in Addis Ababa.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s election to OAFLAD’s Steering Committee reflects her exceptional dedication to advocacy and development.
As a two-term First Lady of Lagos State and the current first lady of Nigeria, she has been a driving force behind the New Era Foundation, spearheading numerous initiatives focused on youth empowerment, education, and women’s development.
Her continued service as a Senator for Lagos Central has further solidified her reputation as a forward-thinking leader committed to societal progress.
In his congratulatory statement, ART described Senator Tinubu’s appointment as a “round peg in a round hole,” underscoring her suitability for the role.
With her vast experience and leadership capabilities, ART expressed confidence that she would successfully contribute to the implementation of OAFLAD’s 2025-2030 Strategic Framework, making a tangible impact on the organization’s advocacy efforts.
Senator Tinubu’s election places her as a representative for West Africa on the eight-member Steering Committee, marking an important step in advancing OAFLAD’s mission across the continent.
Ayodeji encouraged all First Ladies across Africa to unite behind Senator Tinubu as she embarks on her new role, emphasizing the collective benefits of OAFLAD’s work in areas such as sustainable development, healthcare, and gender equality.
