The program, themed *“Flow with Confidence: Empowering Schoolgirls Through Menstrual Hygiene,”* was designed to raise awareness on menstrual health, reduce the stigma around menstruation, and ensure no girl misses school due to lack of sanitary materials.

She emphasized the commitment of the First Lady and the Renewed Hope Initiative to promoting girls’ education and overall well-being, noting that menstrual hygiene is vital to the health, dignity, and academic success of every young girl.


Receiving the team, Mrs. Awotunde Oluwaranti, Principal of Cherubim and Seraphim Secondary School, expressed heartfelt appreciation to the First Lady for her inspiring message and to the local government for their continued support. She described the outreach as timely and impactful, applauding the RHI’s focus on girl-child development.


The school management and community stakeholders commended the efforts of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Oluremi Tinubu for initiating the Renewed Hope Agenda. They also extended gratitude to Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, The Executive Governor of Kwara State, Prof. Olufolake AbdulRazaq, First Lady of Kwara State, and the leadership of Ilorin East Local Government for aligning with initiatives that prioritize the future of the younger generation.

POWER SHIFT TO KWARA NORTH 2027: THE CASE FOR MORO (EDU/MORO/PATIGI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY)

 POWER SHIFT TO KWARA NORTH 2027: THE CASE FOR MORO (EDU/MORO/PATIGI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY) The call for power shift to Kwara North in 2027 is not just politics—it is a matter of justice, equity, and fairness. Since the return of democracy in 1999, political power in Kwara State has been unevenly distributed. Kwara Central has dominated governance for decades, while Kwara South has had its opportunity.  However, Kwara North continues to demand its rightful place in the leadership structure. Within Kwara North itself, the same imbalance exists. In the Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency, the House of Representatives seat has rotated only between Edu and Patigi for nearly 28 years, leaving Moro Local Government completely excluded. This long-standing exclusion makes the demand for Moro’s inclusion not only reasonable—but necessary. Why Moro Must Be Considered in 2027 Equity and Justice: Moro is the only local government in the constituency that has never produced a House of Repr...

 *A Father Cannot Be Enslaved While the Son Chooses His Path* 30th April, 2026 By: JEGEDE ABDULAZEEZ  It is both surprising and disappointing that some elements within the Moro PDP have chosen to drag my father into matters that concern my personal political decisions. Let me state this clearly, a father cannot be enslaved while the son chooses his own path. Political affiliation is a matter of individual conviction, not family bondage. For the better clarification, my father is not a politician but an artisan (musician) who focuses on his craft and personal livelihood. Attempts to label or pressure him politically are unfair, unnecessary, and completely misplaced. Despite of not been a politician, he has dedicated over a decade of his life working tirelessly for the party, contributing his time, energy, and loyalty. Yet, it is evident to all that his sacrifices have not translated into any meaningful or tangible benefit rather than 50K for 11 family men. As for me, I have als...
