This morning at the Abba Kyari Banquet Hall, the “Flow With Confidence” programme was officially launched, a flagship project of the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Initiative. Representing the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the Wife of the Governor of Kaduna State, Hajiya Hafsat Uba Sani, spearheaded the campaign to distribute disposable sanitary pads to schoolgirls across all 23 local government areas of Kaduna State.
Empowering Through Health and Hygiene Focused on empowering schoolgirls through health, hygiene, and mental wellbeing, the event featured the distribution of 9,996 sanitary pads. Nationwide, the initiative is designed to provide a year’s supply of sanitary pads to students in every state, with special attention given to rural communities where many girls struggle to access or afford basic hygiene products.
The initiative aims to reduce school absenteeism and ensure that no girl is forced to miss school or drop out due to a lack of menstrual hygiene supplies.
The Commissioner for Business Innovation and Technology, Mrs. Patience Fakai, who represented the Wife of the Governor of Kaduna State, expressed heartfelt appreciation to Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her compassion and commitment to the welfare of women and girls.
A total of 155 students were selected from schools across the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State. In addition to the sanitary pads, each school received a support package courtesy of Hajiya Hafsat Uba Sani.
The occasion was graced by a high profile delegation committed to advancing the cause, including Hajiya Umma K. Ahmed, Commissioner of Health; Barrister Gloria Ibrahim, Commissioner of Youth and Sports Development; the Permanent Secretary of Education; the Executive Chairman of KADSUBEB; the Director of Quality Assurance; and other distinguished dignitaries
