Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria and first daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has been appointed the Ambassador of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children’s Education (NCAOOSCE).
This announcement was made by the Executive Secretary of the commission, Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris, during his courtesy visit to the Iyaloja-General’s palace in Lagos.
In a statement released yesterday in Abuja, the commission’s spokesperson, Nura Muhammad, highlighted that Tinubu-Ojo’s dedication to aiding underprivileged communities, including Almajiri and children out of the school system, influenced this significant appointment.
Dr. Idris praised her for her commitment to promoting trade and commerce and for her efforts to enhance market women’s access to essential resources and opportunities.
The new role as Ambassador is expected to leverage Tinubu-Ojo’s influential position in commerce to advance educational initiatives for some of Nigeria’s most vulnerable populations.
The statement reads in part, “Chief Tinubu-Ojo expressed excitement and gratitude for the honour, pledging to alleviate the plight of these vulnerable Nigerians.
“She emphasised her father’s commitment to education as a lasting legacy for Nigerian children, evident in his own children’s lives.
“She commended the Executive Secretary for his service to Nigeria, and prayed for him to succeed in the task ahead.”
