President Tinubu’s Daughter Takes on New Federal Role
In a recent federal appointment, President Bola Tinubu’s daughter, Mujidat Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, has been designated as an Ambassador for the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children’s Education (NCAOOSCE). This new role comes as an addition to her current position as the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, symbolizing her ongoing influence and commitment to public service.
Official Announcement from the NCAOOSCE
The commission’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris, announced the appointment during a visit to Tinubu-Ojo’s residence in Lagos. Speaking on behalf of the commission, Idris emphasized the importance of her role in promoting education and support for Nigeria’s most vulnerable populations, particularly the Almajiri and out-of-school children.
The NCAOOSCE spokesperson, Nura Muhammad, shared an official statement from Abuja that highlighted the purpose of Tinubu-Ojo’s ambassadorship and the significance of her appointment under President Tinubu’s administration.
Leveraging Influence to Address Educational Gaps
Tinubu-Ojo’s role as Ambassador is expected to capitalize on her unique position to advocate for educational advancement and social support for disadvantaged children. Idris commended her ongoing commitment to community service, noting her longstanding dedication to helping marginalized groups and her experience as a leader among Nigerian market women.
“She is well-positioned to understand the economic and social barriers facing underserved communities,” Idris remarked. Her previous work empowering women in trade, supporting local commerce, and advocating for broader access to resources aligns with the commission’s mission to uplift marginalized and vulnerable populations.
Tinubu-Ojo’s Response to the Appointment
Expressing gratitude for the appointment, Tinubu-Ojo shared her enthusiasm for taking on the new role. She described the position as a “personal mission” to address the issues facing Almajiri children and other out-of-school youth. The commission’s statement quoted her response: “Chief Tinubu-Ojo expressed excitement and gratitude for the honor, pledging to alleviate the plight of these vulnerable Nigerians.”
Acknowledgment of the Commission’s Efforts
Tinubu-Ojo also commended Dr. Idris for his dedication to advancing education and social support in Nigeria, recognizing the challenges the Executive Secretary has faced in the mission to improve the lives of vulnerable children. “She expressed appreciation for his service to Nigeria and prayed for his success in the tasks ahead,” the statement concluded.
Challenges Facing Almajiri Children in Nigeria
The Almajiri children, predominantly from Northern Nigeria, often face significant barriers to formal education and are at risk of poverty and social exclusion. Through this ambassadorship, Tinubu-Ojo aims to address these challenges, bringing awareness and support to an underserved demographic that requires urgent attention.
