The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Hon. Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has congratulated the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, on her 66th birthday, describing her as a compassionate mother, woman of courage and strong advocate for women, children and vulnerable Nigerians.
In a goodwill message, Omidiran commended the First Lady for her years of dedicated public service and her continued commitment to initiatives aimed at improving the lives of women, children, families and underserved communities across the country.
She described Senator Tinubu’s leadership as marked by compassion, resilience and commitment to humanity, noting that her role as First Lady has provided an important platform to advance causes affecting the wellbeing and future of Nigerian families.

“Every girl deserves the opportunity to dream, learn, develop her abilities and become whatever she is capable of becoming. When we empower a woman, we strengthen a family; when we educate a girl, we invest in the future of a nation,” she said.
The FCC Executive Chairman also commended Senator Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Initiative for its interventions in areas including education, health, economic empowerment and social welfare, noting that sustained investment in women and children remains essential to national development.
“As you celebrate 66 years of a life of impact, service and sacrifice, may you continue to be strengthened with wisdom, grace and good health to carry out the responsibilities entrusted to you,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of my family, the management and staff of the Federal Character Commission, I warmly felicitate with Your Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, on this special occasion.

Cyril Samania
The President of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Chief Oliver Patrick Ityohegh, has reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian service, stressing the importance of supporting vulnerable people and improving community welfare beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day.
Ityohegh stated this during the organisation’s Cauldron Night and Award Presentation held to commemorate its 2026 Humanitarian Day celebration, theme: “Humanity First: Advancing Hope, Dignity and Community Well-being.” organised by the DNKI Abuja Chapter.
He emphasised that humanitarian service should be a continuous responsibility driven by compassion, solidarity and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in society.
According to him, DNKI’s humanitarian activities reflect its dedication to giving back to society and supporting people in need, while encouraging members to sustain initiatives that promote human dignity and community well-being.
He added that the organisation would continue to strengthen its humanitarian engagements through practical interventions aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people and promoting community development.
Speaking at the event, the representative of the Abuja Chapter Chairman and Chairman of its Advisory Council, Prince Efiong Okpe, said the organisation’s humanitarian activities extended beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day on October 15.
Okpe explained that DNKI undertook several initiatives throughout the year, including blood donation exercises, visits to hospitals and correctional centres, as well as support for orphanages and other vulnerable groups.
According to him, the organisation also collaborated with humanitarian bodies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to identify areas of need and provide assistance within its available resources.
He described Humanitarian Day as an opportunity for members to renew their commitment to service and demonstrate solidarity with people facing difficult circumstances.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Coordinator of the DNKI Gwagwalada Zone, Mr Etudaiye Hamzat, disclosed that the chapter had provided financial assistance to some members to help pay their children’s school fees, alongside distributing bags of rice and other relief items to members experiencing hardship.
Hamzat explained that the interventions followed concerns over the difficulties some members faced in meeting their family responsibilities, particularly the rising cost of their children’s education.
He maintained that supporting members in need was consistent with the organisation’s humanitarian principles, adding that DNKI remained committed to extending assistance to non-members and vulnerable communities as part of its commitment to leading by example.
Looking ahead, Hamzat said the Abuja Chapter planned to expand its humanitarian outreach to remote communities within the FCT, with particular attention to orphanages, schools and widows facing difficulties in meeting their family responsibilities.
He also recalled previous interventions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which included the distribution of food, clothing and educational materials, noting that the chapter intended to scale up such initiatives in the coming year.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to outstanding members and distinguished non-members in recognition of their contributions to humanitarian service.
