Since her husband was elected and sworn in as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Wife of the President have been meeting with NGOs and Organisations working for grass root development to contribute as “the wife of the president” and not “the first lady of Nigeria” a position her husband considers “abused” by wives of past Nigerian leaders.
