The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has been honoured with the chieftaincy title of Ugosimba 1 of Enugu by the Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council.
The prestigious title, which translates to jewel or eagle from another kingdom, was conferred during her two-day working visit to Enugu on Tuesday.
Chairman of the Council, Igwe Ikechukwu Asadu, said the title recognises Mrs Tinubu’s love for the state, her humanitarian efforts, and contributions to national development.
“You served three terms in the Senate and were honoured with the Commander of the Order of the Niger. Beyond politics, we admire your compassion for the less privileged, your support for nurses and midwives, and your work in uplifting humanity,” he stated.
In her acceptance speech, the First Lady expressed heartfelt appreciation, describing Enugu as a peaceful and welcoming state where she felt “inner peace” upon arrival.
She dedicated the honour to her husband, President Bola Tinubu, and their entire family, saying, “This is a special honour that I will cherish forever. I love your state, it is calm and welcoming. As you have honoured me today, Enugu State will be remembered for good.”
