The Digest:

Nigeria's First Lady, Remi Tinubu, is turning her 65th birthday celebration into a birthday for a cause. She has appealed to well-wishers to donate to the completion of the long-delayed National Library project instead of sending traditional gifts like cakes, cards, or flowers.

Key Points:
  • The First Lady is dedicating her upcoming 65th birthday to a project.
  • The initiative aims to raise funds to complete the National Library project.
  • She asked friends and supporters to donate to the "Oluremi at 65 Education Fund."
  • The First Lady cited her "love for education" as the reason for the decision.
  • The National Library project has been under construction since 2006.
  • An earlier target for the first phase was June 2025, but no update is available.
Remi Tinubu’s initiative is a notable pivot from typical political celebrations towards a philanthropic effort. The move signals a direct push to complete a critical national project that has been stalled for years.
