Nurses and midwives in Lagos State have received new professional kits, including scrubs and Crocs, under the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) led by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
The kits were officially presented on Monday by the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Claudiana Sanwo-Olu, during a ceremony at the Banquet Hall of the Office of the First Lady in Alausa, Ikeja.
The event was also attended by the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Oluremi Hamzat, and other top officials from the Lagos State Ministry of Health.
Dr. Sanwo-Olu, who is the Lagos State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Initiative, praised the national First Lady for her commitment to improving healthcare, especially for mothers and children.
“This presentation is more than a distribution of kits, it is a message that we acknowledge your dedication, celebrate your service, and stand with you in delivering quality healthcare,” she said.
The donation is part of a larger effort that has seen the RHI launched across all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
Lagos is the latest to benefit, following the South-West rollout in Akure, Ondo State, where 10,000 sets of scrubs and Crocs were distributed.
The items were handed over through the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board. Dr. Sanwo-Olu promised that the government would continue to support frontline health workers, describing nurses and midwives as “pillars of strength” in the health sector.
Also speaking at the event, Mrs. Oluremi Hamzat praised the Renewed Hope Initiative for making a positive impact.
She noted that giving health workers the right tools helps improve maternal and child health services across the state.
