The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has been conferred with the prestigious chieftaincy title of ‘Ugosimba 1 of Enugu’ by the Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council.
The title, which means jewel/eagle from another kingdom, was conferred on her on Tuesday, during her two-day working visit to the state.
According to the Chairman of the Council, Igwe Ikechukwu Asadu, the title recognised her love for Enugu, humanitarian service, and commitment to national development.
“You served three terms in the Senate and were honoured with the Commander of the Order of Niger.
“But beyond politics, we admire your compassion for the less privileged, your support for nurses and midwives, and your work in uplifting humanity,” Asadu said.
In her acceptance speech, Mrs Tinubu expressed deep gratitude, describing Enugu as a peaceful state where she had felt “inner peace” since her arrival.
She said the title was not just a personal honour but one for her husband, President Bola Tinubu, and their entire family.
“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,” she said.
