Due to her numerous number of socially responsive humanitarian interventions she initiated in almost every part of the country that have added value to the lives of millions of vulnerable Nigerians including the Internally Displaced Pwrsons (IDPs), widows, orphans, destitutes, women, students,youths and persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Nigeria, HRM Queen Dr. Halimat Adenine Tejousho, the founder/CEO of Queen Adenike Tejousho (QAT) Foundation, has certainly become a force to reckone with as far as the president Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda is concerned.
Dr. Tejousho, has within a short time, impacted so many lives through her QAT foundation humanitarian activities which are visible to evryone in the country. Through the foundation she had supported hundred thousand of students with assorted scholarships, paid school registration fees for thousands out of school children of very poor background from primary, post primary to higher tatiary levels, provided assorted relief materials ranging from food items, medicines, detergents, mattresses, sleeping sheets, clothes etc to different IDPs camps, provide start up capitals for business enthusiastic youths and women to complement the Small Medium Enterprise (SMEs) prohrmmme of President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda project.
Tejousho's humanitarian gestures to humanity didn't stop from there, she had also used her foundation to erect useful infrastructures such as renovating damaged classrooms across public and private schools in the rural and grasstoot areas, renovating collapsed houses of vulnerable citizens, providing furnitures for IDPs camps across the country and a host of other humanitarian interventions she carried out as a means of complimenting the president's Renewed Hope Agenda.
Little wonder how this kindhearted 'mother of the motherless' (as she is fondly called by million of Nigerians) who is not in the government is constantly carrying out such kinds of rewarding and gigantic humanitarian services to Nigerians from all walks of life using her meager resources? This is a woman who can do everything within her power to put smiles on the face of the neglected, discriminated and oppressed members of the society. This is a woman who can go hungry for hours to ensure children of the poor feeds, this is the woman who can sacrifice her sleep to ensure the poor man on the street and family sleep well.
Canversely, because of Tejousho's remarkable philanthropic gestures towards humanity which she always do in tendem with president Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda principle, million times more than those serving in president's cabinet as mininisters, she had been able to mobilize millions of people of varying backgrounds including the elderly, women and youths to believe support the president's Renewed Hope Agenda.
Tejousho's influence in getting more and more people to support the current administration led by president Bola Ahmed Tinubu can not be quantified. Her role in addressing the challenge of hunger in the land which is caused by the wrong economic factors inherited from the previous administration is second to non. All these could be manifested in how she is able to repel million of people from different states from joining the ill-motivated hunger protests orchestrated by the opposition and those agitating to bring the instability in the country and make it ungovernable.
Of recent is the testimony of Tejousho's huge influence in mobilizing support to president Tinubu's people-oriened administration championed by a political cum cultural group under the aegies of "Coalition of Concerned Kogi Indigenes (CCKI)". A group which publicly linked their refusal to join the Nationwide protest because of the numerous socially responsive humanitarian interventions enjoyed by the group.
The group made the disclosure in a press statement issued to newsmen on Friday, admitting that they decided to key into the Tejousho's philosophy of given their full support to president Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration to surmount the lingering economic challenges facing the country by given the president more times rather than staging protests that may expose their citizens to various socio-economic challenges.
Earlier, Dr. Tejousho had in a press conference she sponsored in Abuja before the commencemrnt of the nationwide hunger protest, appealed to Nigerians from all walks of life to consider given Mr.president ample time to address the hardships rocking the nation, rather than resorting to unnecessary protest, people should exercise a little patient for the president to workout modalities of containing the challenges facing us.
Interestingly Dr. Tejousho's appeal was largerly assimilated into the psyche of every patriotic citizens of Nigeria who believed in the president's commitment to return the country into the path of progress to drive maximum socioeconomic growth in the coming years.
Notwithstanding, the persistent calls by many groups in the country as echoed by the Coalition of Concerned Kogi Indigenes recent calls on the Mr. President to as a matter of urgency appoint Hajiya Halimat Adenike as humanitarian affairs Minister to alleviate the plights of the citizens through the ministry, is not only justified, timely, strategic but a right step in the right direction ordained by the almighty God to salvage the country from the grips of power-drunk politicians without any outstanding humanitarian records posing as humanitarian ministers to siphon public fund.
