The Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Lady Valerie Fubara, has reaffirmed the commitment of the Sir Siminalayi Fubara-led administration to inclusive governance, social responsibility and the welfare of citizens, with special emphasis on members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families.
Lady Fubara gave the assurance while hosting the maiden *Humanitarian Outreach, Family and Community Day* in Rivers State, organised under the Renewed Hope Initiative of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. The programme was part of activities marking the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in the state.
Speaking at the event, Lady Fubara, who is also the founder of the Valerie Simple Life Initiative, described the outreach as a solemn tribute and compassionate intervention designed to honour Nigeria’s shared history, while strengthening the bond between government, Armed Forces veterans and their families.
She commended officers and men of the Nigerian Armed Forces for their courage, sacrifice and patriotism, noting that their selfless service has continued to guarantee peace, unity and the territorial integrity of the nation.
According to her, the Rivers State Government remains resolute in supporting legionnaires and their dependants through policies and programmes that promote dignity, improved well-being and sustainable livelihoods.
“Across the length and breadth of our nation, our Armed Forces continue to demonstrate unwavering commitment in safeguarding lives and property, as well as securing critical national assets. As a government, we recognise these sacrifices and remain committed to supporting our veterans and the families they leave behind,” she said.
Lady Fubara further emphasised that the outreach aligned with the humanitarian vision of the Renewed Hope Initiative, which prioritises care for vulnerable groups, including widows of fallen heroes.
The event was attended by top government officials and stakeholders, including the Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Prof. Ngozi Nma Ordu; the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr Roseline Apawari-Uranta; the Head of the Rivers State Civil Service, Dr (Mrs) Inyingi Brown; and Prof. Roseline Konya, among others.
As part of activities for the day, Lady Fubara led participating women in aerobics sessions to promote physical fitness and healthy living. The programme also featured games, cultural performances and the presentation of gifts and support items to Armed Forces veterans and widows, in recognition of their service and sacrifice to the nation.
The outreach underscored the Rivers State Government’s commitment to compassion-driven governance and sustained engagement with those who have served the country with honour.
