Keffi town today came alive as the Federal Government inaugurated a major humanitarian facility—the Senator Oluremi Tinubu Renewed Hope Resettlement Centre for Persons of Concern.

Commissioned by the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, the resettlement centre is more than just a physical structure—it is a profound embodiment of the Renewed Hope Agenda championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Named after the First Lady, the centre aims to offer refuge, restoration, and a new beginning for thousands of Nigerians displaced by conflict, insecurity, and natural disasters.

At the heart of the commissioning ceremony was Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, the distinguished lawmaker representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District.

Delivering a moving goodwill message, Senator Wadada described the centre as a “milestone achievement” and a bold affirmation of leadership grounded in compassion, dignity, and responsibility.

“This project reflects leadership anchored in compassion and responsibility,” Senator Wadada remarked. “It is about restoring dignity to our fellow citizens, especially those who have lost everything to conflict or natural disasters.”

According to him, displacement strips individuals not only of their homes but of their hope. The Renewed Hope Resettlement Centre, he said, seeks to return that lost hope to offer displaced Nigerians not just shelter, but a lifeline.

In many ways, the centre stands as a symbol of transformation. It is a place where the displaced can begin to rebuild their lives, supported by essential social services and community reintegration programs. For Senator Wadada, this is where President Tinubu’s promises begin to take root in people’s lives.

“It proves that the Renewed Hope Agenda is not just rhetoric; it is being implemented and is delivering real, transformative results,” he said.

Wadada’s optimism was not limited to symbolism. He emphasized that continuous investment in social welfare, human dignity, and resettlement infrastructure can serve as long-term solutions to Nigeria’s internal displacement crisis.

The event also offered an opportunity to acknowledge those working behind the scenes. Senator Wadada lauded Hon. Aliyu Tijjani Ahmed, the Federal Commissioner of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), for his leadership and strategic vision.

“You are not a disappointment,” Senator Wadada told the Commissioner, commending him for facilitating the siting of such a critical project in Nasarawa State. The move, he said, marks a “political goal scored” for the state, a proof that impactful governance is reaching grassroots communities.

The Senator Oluremi Tinubu Resettlement Centre is not just an architectural addition to Keffi; it is a social contract in action. For those who will find shelter within its walls, it represents the beginning of healing and the restoration of human dignity.

For the Tinubu administration, it marks another concrete step in a policy trajectory that seeks to bridge the gap between the federal government and vulnerable citizens. Through this centre, the Renewed Hope Agenda becomes visible, touchable, and life-changing.

In a nation often plagued by stories of disillusionment, the Keffi Resettlement Centre offers a rare but vital narrative—a story of hope renewed, lives restored, Senator Wadada concluded.
