The group praised Dr. Tejuosho's remarkable record in humanitarian work, philanthropy, and advocacy, which makes her an ideal candidate for the position. Her leadership would ensure that the ministry's efforts align with international best practices, leveraging her extensive network and experience in the humanitarian sector.
The Northern Nigerian Youth Ambassadors urged President Tinubu to heed their call and appoint Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation without further delay. By doing so, the government can demonstrate its commitment to alleviating the suffering of vulnerable Nigerians and empowering a capable leader to drive meaningful change.
The youth leaders vowed to continue advocating for the appointment, emphasizing that the fate of millions of Nigerians depends on swift action from the government.
