Wife of the Inspector-General of Police, Mutiat Disu, has pledged to utilise the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) to enhance the welfare, healthcare, and economic empowerment of police officers’ wives across Nigeria.
Mrs. Disu made this known after a closed-door meeting with First Lady Oluremi Tinubu at the State House in Abuja, according to a statement issued by her media aide.
Speaking to journalists, the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) National President said her visit was aimed at drawing from the First Lady’s experience and exploring opportunities within the RHI that could benefit members of the association nationwide.
She noted that her interaction with the First Lady had already provided valuable insights into how POWA could key into the initiative’s programmes, particularly in areas of social intervention and healthcare support for police families.
Mrs. Disu expressed optimism that closer collaboration with the First Lady would translate into tangible benefits for members, many of whom rely on such programmes for support and empowerment.
She emphasised that the women-focused nature of the Renewed Hope Initiative aligns with POWA’s structure, which is largely made up of women, making the partnership both strategic and impactful.
“What people should expect from me is that I am ready to work with Mama on this RHI as it affects our women,” she said, highlighting her commitment to ensuring that police officers’ families are not left out of national social programmes.
In her remarks, Mrs. Tinubu urged the POWA president to prioritise the welfare of police officers’ wives, stressing the importance of sustained support systems for families of security personnel.
Mrs. Disu assumed leadership of POWA following the appointment of her husband, Olatunji Disu, as Inspector-General of Police on February 24.
