A pressure group, Unified Nigerian Youth Forum has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint Hajiya Halimat Adenike as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation saying she posses the right attribute to man the ministry.
The group in a letter addressed to the President and copied the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, First lady, the National Security and Director of State Security Services, explained that the demand became imperative due to her impactful and selfless life as a philanthropist.
The letter read in part, “our passionate focus on Nigerian youths, especially the vulnerable and physically challenged has informed our decision. Even though we are non partisan and ordinarily wouldn’t have cared about who gets appointed, considering the attendant negative impact on the less privileged and youths of the country if the Ministry continues to operate without a Minister, we are confident that this request is imperative.
While describing her as a selfless patriot who has been using her personal resources to bring succour to senior citizens, People Living with Disabilities and the less privileged through the Tejuosho Foundation , group highlighted some of her contributions to humanity, arguing that her passion for the downtrodden should be rewarded.
“Her annual Ramadan ranges over 10000 PWDs as well as her recent Sallah packages to hundreds of households across the 774 Local Government of the Country who could not afford to celebrate the festivities cannot be forgotten. For someone with such a large heart, functioning as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation will be an easy task”, the letter added.
