This prestigious election took place during the 29th Ordinary General Assembly of OAFLAD, held on the sidelines of the 38th African Union Summit in Addis Ababa.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s election into the highest decision-making body of OAFLAD is a testament to her unwavering commitment to advocacy and development.

With her vast experience and strategic mindset, there is no doubt that OAFLAD’s 2025-2030 Strategic Framework will be effectively implemented under her guidance. Her inclusion in the eight-member Steering Committee, representing West Africa, is a significant milestone that will undoubtedly drive the Organisation’s advocacy initiatives to greater heights.
Ayodeji Rilwan Tinubu urges all First Ladies across Africa to rally behind Senator Oluremi Tinubu in achieving the collective goals of OAFLAD. Unity and collaboration among member nations will ensure that the benefits of OAFLAD’s mission reach every corner of the continent. With her at the helm, Africa stands to witness remarkable progress in sustainable development, healthcare, and gender equality.
