Hajiya Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, the First Lady of Nigeria said her passion for the plight of mothers, children and adolescents prompted her to establish her “Future Assured” programme.
A statement by her media director, Mallam Zakari Yau Nadabo, quoted her as saying this at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday while hosting the wife of the visiting president of Turkey, Mrs Emine Erdogan.
Mrs Buhari said the series of intervention projects and initiatives designed for some categories of Nigerians were her modest response to the current challenges facing women and children.
She expressed delight with the similarity of thought, attention and desire to impact on women and children between her and Mrs Erdogan.
Mrs Buhari acknowledged Turkey’s support for renovation work and donation of some items to selected schools and internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in the country.
