Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has faced criticism for her Akara and Kulikuli Women Empowerment Programme, which is part of the Renewed Hope Initiative. The program aims to empower women at the grassroots level, but it has sparked debate regarding its effectiveness and impact on economic policy, according to ThisDay Live.

First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu has defended the economic reforms initiated by President Bola Tinubu's administration, asserting that these policies are essential for the foundation of future generations. Her comments were made during a recent event in Abuja, emphasizing the importance of the reforms for the country's economic stability and growth.

Hajiya Zulaihat Dikko Radda, the wife of the Katsina State governor, has called on the state government to implement the Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) policy locally. She believes that domestication of this policy is essential for enhancing women's economic opportunities in the region, according to ThisDay Live.

The Zamfara State Government has called for a human capital development blueprint for Northern Nigeria, highlighting the region's significant issues such as a high number of out-of-school children, multidimensional poverty, maternal mortality, youth unemployment, and insecurity, which are hindering productivity and economic growth, according to a statement from the Speaker.

Tens of thousands of stakeholders from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State held a 'Thank You' rally in Ilorin to celebrate the successful conduct of the party's primaries. The event also served to show support for President Bola Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and other party leaders, according to Leadership (NG).

President Bola Tinubu made a playful remark on Thursday by calling his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, ‘Iya Alakara’, which translates to the woman selling akara, a local delicacy. This comment comes in light of the controversy surrounding his wife's proposal to provide grants for women to sell akara and kulikuli, another local snack.
