September 5, 2025
Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, representing Eti-Osa Constituency II, in the Lagos State House of Assembly, has paid glowing tribute to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as she marks her 65th birthday on September 21, 2025.
In a special statement, Yishawu described the First Lady as “a mentor to millions, an educationist by conviction, a reform-minded legislator, and a philanthropist whose compassion is matched by measurable action.”
Highlighting her distinguished career, Yishawu recalled her three-term service as Senator representing Lagos Central, where she sponsored landmark legislation such as the Older Persons (Rights and Privileges) Bill and championed causes in education, social welfare, and women and youth empowerment.
He noted that Senator Tinubu’s constituency programmes, including health outreaches, school support initiatives, skills acquisition schemes and micro-enterprise empowerment, set a benchmark for responsive and impactful representation.
As First Lady, Yishawu praised her for transforming empathy into structured interventions through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
He cited flagship programmes such as scholarships for undergraduates, women’s agricultural support, petty-trade recapitalisation, ICT and creative industry training, HPV vaccination advocacy, menstrual health projects for schoolgirls, and equipment support for women in micro-businesses.
He stressed that Senator Tinubu’s philanthropy is “disciplined and targeted at root causes, with tools and training that multiply opportunities for beneficiaries.”
Marking her 65th birthday, Yishawu commended her decision to dedicate all gifts and goodwill to the completion of the long-delayed National Library of Nigeria project. He described the gesture as “a pledge to knowledge, opportunity, and the future of Nigerian children.”
Offering prayers for her health and continued service, Yishawu said:
“On this milestone, we celebrate Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her profound impact on our nation. May God grant her wisdom and grace, and may her legacy of disciplined kindness inspire leaders at every level.”
He concluded by saluting her on behalf of the people of Eti-Osa Constituency II, Lagos, and Nigeria at large, saying her life exemplifies renewed hope with tangible milestones.
