The Esther Matthew Tonlagha Foundation (EMT Foundation) has felicitated Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Bola Tinubu, on her 66th birthday. The foundation commended her humanitarian interventions and efforts to empower women, children, and vulnerable Nigerians. According to the EMT Foundation's Chief Executive Officer, Asst. Pastor Mrs Esther Tonlagha, Tinubu has demonstrated that the office of the First Lady can serve as an instrument for compassion, empowerment, and positive social change.

Tonlagha described the First Lady as a woman of grace, compassion, faith, and dedicated service to humanity. She particularly commended Tinubu's Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), which has introduced interventions targeting women, children, young people, and vulnerable Nigerians. The initiative focuses on education, healthcare, economic empowerment, agriculture, food security, and social investment, reflecting Tinubu's commitment to creating opportunities for Nigerians to thrive.

The EMT Foundation also praised Tinubu's advocacy for women and the girl child, citing initiatives under the RHI that promote access to education, skills acquisition, and economic opportunities. Additionally, the foundation noted that the First Lady's programmes have provided support to vulnerable families and communities, as well as women entrepreneurs, young people, students, and disadvantaged Nigerians.

Tonlagha recalled the First Lady's visit to Delta State, describing it as an historic homecoming visit that reaffirmed her connection with the people of the Niger Delta. The EMT Foundation identifies with Tinubu's vision due to its own focus on education, agriculture, food security, scholarships, vocational training, and the empowerment of women, youths, and vulnerable households.

The foundation's CEO prayed for continued wisdom, sound health, strength, peace, and grace for the First Lady, while wishing her greater fulfilment and many more years of impactful service to Nigeria. Tonlagha expressed her admiration for Tinubu's leadership, which has inspired hope through her compassion for vulnerable Nigerians and determination to use her position to impact lives.

The EMT Foundation's congratulatory message emphasized that Tinubu's humanitarian efforts have made a positive impact on the lives of many Nigerians. The foundation celebrates Tinubu's 66 years and, more importantly, the lives she has touched, the hope she has inspired, and the positive impact she continues to make as First Lady of Nigeria.

The EMT Foundation's recognition of Tinubu's achievements highlights the significance of her role as a champion of humanitarian causes in Nigeria.
