The federal government has commissioned the Oluremi Tinubu Renewed Hope Resettlement City in the Yar-Kande community, Keffi, Nasarawa State. This marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s humanitarian and social reintegration efforts for displaced citizens.

The state-of-the-art Resettlement City, developed by the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), currently houses 40 households, 239 individuals, including refugees from Cameroon and Sudan. The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, commissioned the centre. Its presence underscored the Federal Government’s commitment to delivering on its Renewed Hope Agenda for social welfare and inclusive development.

At the commissioning ceremony, Senator Tinubu described the Resettlement City as “a new dawn” for the affected families, and a “significant milestone in the federal government’s ongoing efforts to restore hope and dignity to displaced Nigerians.”

“I am pleased to witness the resettlement of 40 households into a safe and dignified environment,” she said. “This development reaffirms the commitment of the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which aims to enhance social welfare programmes for all Nigerians.”

The First Lady emphasised that the resettlement effort must be holistic, strongly focusing on empowerment, economic self-reliance, and peaceful coexistence. She revealed that 100 hectares of farmland had been secured for the city’s agricultural development, providing a dual opportunity for food security and income generation.

“Our work does not end here,” she stressed. “Resettlement must go hand in hand with empowerment and skills acquisition.”

The resettlement city boasts a range of integrated facilities to rebuild lives and foster community integration. These include:

There is a solar-powered greenhouse to support food security and agricultural livelihoods, a fully equipped hospital for healthcare access, a modern school for basic education, a vocational training centre for economic empowerment, places of worship—a church and mosque—and over 40 blocks of flats offering safe, dignified shelter.

Describing the development as more than just infrastructure, Aliyu Ahmed, Federal Commissioner of the NCFRMI, called it “a symbol of renewed hope and a bold step forward in our national humanitarian agenda.”

“What we commissioned today is not just a physical structure. These facilities will serve as a place for habitual living and evolve into a community where families can rebuild their lives, live, thrive, and contribute meaningfully to our dear country,” he said.

Ahmed also disclosed that the Nasarawa State Government had approved a 100-hectare lease for a Renewable Farming Project to be executed in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. The project aims to enhance residents’ self-reliance and productivity.

He commended Governor Abdullahi Sule for his “unflinching support” in acquiring land and deploying personnel for the project.

In his remarks, Governor Sule hailed the initiative as “a beacon of hope” and a model for compassionate governance.

“This Resettlement City is not just a physical structure; it is a powerful symbol of compassion and leadership. Let living here mould you and prepare you for a brighter future,” the governor said.

He also commended President Tinubu’s ongoing efforts to restore national security and encouraged continued community cooperation to sustain peace and development.

Also present at the event was the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, who praised the First Lady’s hands-on involvement as an embodiment of inclusive governance.

“By this gesture, you are giving them hope and dignity, and restoring a great future to the children. That is what the President stands for and what true Renewed Hope represents,” Yilwatda said.

The resettlement city aligns with the broader objectives of the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes social protection, national inclusion, and sustainable development for all, particularly vulnerable populations affected by displacement and conflict.

As families begin a new chapter in Yar-Kande, the government reiterated its commitment to continuing investments in humanitarian solutions that offer shelter, empower individuals, and strengthen communities.
