Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, has been elected as a member of the Steering Committee of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD), the highest decision-making body of the organisation.

This was at the 29th Ordinary General Assembly of the organisation ongoing in Addis Ababa on the sideline of the 38th African Union (AU) Summit Ordinary Session.

According to a statement by her media aide, Busola Kukuyi, on Saturday, Mrs Tinubu joins the eight-member Steering Committee as one of the two members representing West Africa. Other member-nations elected include Sierra Leone, whose First Lady is the new President of the organisation; Angola, whose First Lady is the Vice President; Malawi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea and Congo.

She will serve in the new position for a two-year tenure.

Senator Tinubu, who is already a strong voice within OAFLAD, is expected to further carry the torch of the organisation, driving its advocacy initiatives towards the realisation of its 2025-2030 Strategic Framework.
