“The Forum rejoices with the mother of the nation on this special day as it calls for special recognition of her efforts towards impacting the lives of Nigerians, particularly women and children.

“The First Lady has over the years remained consistent and committed in initiating various programmes that have direct impact on the most vulnerable persons in society” he said.

The governor added that her pet project, the Future Assured Programme (FAP), has done a lot in empowering women and youths in all parts of the country.

“As well as her humanitarian interventions to victims of crises and other natural disasters,” he said.

Lalong praised the first lady’s support to the NGF in the efforts to address the Almajiri phenomenon, poverty, diseases and humanitarian needs of displaced persons across the region and the nation at large.

The NGF wished the first lady good health, God’s protection and wisdom to continue to stand up for the weak and vulnerable in society.
