The National Population Commission (NPC) has announced a groundbreaking stride towards improving birth registration across Nigeria, spearheaded by none other than the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON. In a high-profile event at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the First Lady officially launched the Renewed Hope Initiative Project—an ambitious program designed to accelerate birth registration at an unprecedented scale across the nation.
Taking to its official X handle, the NPC shared details of this landmark occasion, where Senator Oluremi Tinubu emphasized the crucial role of comprehensive birth registration in national development. By ensuring that every Nigerian child is counted and recognized from birth, the initiative seeks to lay a solid foundation for better planning, policy-making, and resource allocation in the country.
The First Lady, known for her unwavering commitment to social welfare and development, described the Renewed Hope Initiative as a pivotal step towards realizing a Nigeria where every child’s identity is acknowledged, and their rights protected from the very start of life. “No child should be left behind,” she asserted, highlighting the initiative’s alignment with the government’s broader agenda of fostering inclusivity and social equity.
The event drew an array of dignitaries, including government officials, development partners, and key stakeholders, all united in their support for this transformative project. The initiative aims to address the significant gaps in birth registration, particularly in rural and underserved areas, where millions of children remain unregistered.
Senator Tinubu’s leadership in this initiative reflects her broader vision of a Nigeria that is not only prosperous but also just and inclusive. The Renewed Hope Initiative is set to create a ripple effect, ensuring that every child in Nigeria can access the rights and opportunities they deserve from birth.
As the project rolls out, it promises to be a game-changer in the nation’s journey towards achieving universal birth registration, thereby contributing to the accurate demographic data crucial for national planning and development. The First Lady’s launch of this initiative is a clarion call to action, urging all Nigerians to support the noble cause of giving every child a name, a place, and a future.
