The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), has handed three mobile clinic units under the RHI’s Love on Wheels project to boost healthcare delivery in underserved areas.
Speaking at the handover ceremony in Abuja, Senator Oluremi Tinubu described the initiative as “care in action, a motion to strengthen health care delivery beyond hospital walls, improve access, shorten response times, and support flexible services, especially in emergencies and underserved areas through professional health care givers.”
Two of the mobile clinics were pledged to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on January 23, 2025, during the commissioning of the Nigerian Digital Museum in Abuja.
She explained the delay in delivery stemmed from building the clinics from scratch to certification standards.The third clinic goes to Taraba State Government, promised during her official visit to the State on April 11, 2025, amid a health programme for frontline health workers. Emphasizing non-partisan service, she highlighted the handover to Taraba, then under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), administration.
The Taraba State Governor Dr Agbu Kefas thanked Senator Oluremi Tinibu for the donation which he noted will go a long way in realizing better health coverage in the state. He commended Senator Oluremi Tinubu for stretching her scope of generosity beyond political party by reaching out to other people in States that are not under the ruling party APC.
Governor Agbu Kefas noted the mobile clinic was his first such gift as governor. Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare Dr Iziaq Adekunle Salako in his remarks, commended the First Lady for her generosity and support in the health sector. Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Oluseye Nafiu, described the two mobile clinics, as a “strategic boost” to reach underserved Nigerians.
The three Mobile Clinics were then officially handed over to the beneficiaries by the First Lady and RHI National Chairman, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
