Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday said the bold economic reforms engendered by President Bola Tinubu ‘s-led government are yielding the desired results after two years of citizens’ patience.
The governor stated this in his speech at the closing ceremony of the 25th anniversary of the National Women’s Conference, organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu, who, as his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, represented, affirmed that the bold reforms by the federal government under the leadership of the President are beginning to yield fruits.
He noted that, “We have seen this in prices that are dropping in the markets; the stability of the foreign exchange market; students having unhindered access to funds for school fees. And more.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu therefore charged the women, “This is the message you should take home – that the Renewed Hope promised by President Tinubu is becoming a reality.”
The Governor maintained that the National Women’s Conference has been remarkable, saying, “As we bring this extraordinary 25th anniversary edition of the National Women’s Conference to a close, my heart is filled with immense pride and gratitude.
“Over the past few days, we have not only celebrated a legacy — we have renewed a movement. We have reflected on twenty-five years of purpose, passion, and progress. Together, we have envisioned the next generation of women who will carry this legacy forward.
“This silver jubilee has reminded us of how far COWLSO has come — from its rebirth under the visionary leadership of our dearest mother, the First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, OON, CON, to the dynamic impact it continues to make today under the guidance of my dear wife, Dr Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu. What began as a gathering of women with shared values has become a force that uplifts families, transforms communities, and shapes policy conversations across Nigeria.’’
The wife of the Lagos State Governor and Chairman of COWLSO, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, stated that under the THEMES Plus agenda, women have found new ways to soar.
While giving kudos to Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, she noted, “We remain inspired by your visionary leadership. Your Renewed Hope initiative continues to illuminate paths for countless women and families around the world.”
