The Renewed Hope Neighbour to Neighbour organisation has issued a birthday tribute to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, the First Lady of Nigeria, as she marked her 66th birthday. The group, which recognises Senator Tinubu as its Grand Patroness, praised her public service as being shaped by compassion and a genuine commitment to the welfare of Nigerians.
The tribute was signed by the group's National Coordinator, Hon. Belusochukwu Enwere, and made available to Legit.ng on Monday, September 21, 2026. According to the statement, Nigerians and well-wishers around the world were joining in celebrating the occasion.
Recognition of Transformative Leadership
The organisation highlighted that Senator Tinubu's life in public service has been defined by "compassion, courage, and transformative leadership." The group credited her with strengthening its mission of community development, youth empowerment, and women's welfare. It noted that her initiatives have opened doors and encouraged Nigerians to pursue their goals.
The tribute also emphasised the First Lady's role in reinforcing the group's core belief that meaningful national development starts at the community level. The organisation stated that its work is built around the idea that neighbours should look out for one another, and that vulnerable people deserve protection. It added that young Nigerians should have access to skills and opportunities that allow them to build productive lives.
Commitment to Education and Healthcare
Beyond her work with young people and women, the group praised Senator Tinubu for her dedication to education, healthcare, economic inclusion, and the welfare of the girl-child. It described her as someone who brings a maternal concern to the wellbeing of Nigerian families.
The tribute read: "Her support continues to remind us that leadership is measured not by titles, but by lives transformed." The organisation closed its tribute by praying for continued good health, renewed strength, and wisdom for the First Lady, and wishing her many more years of service to Nigeria.
President Tinubu's Birthday Message
Earlier, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu released a birthday message for his wife, Oluremi, on her 66th birthday. In the message, the President reflected on their shared journey, describing her as a pillar of calm and prayer during the most difficult periods of his life. He also recognised Remi Tinubu's humanitarian work through two major initiatives spanning her time in Lagos and at Aso Rock.
The Renewed Hope Neighbour to Neighbour organisation's tribute underscores the First Lady's impact on community-level development and her continued influence on national policies affecting youth, women, and families across Nigeria.
