First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu hosted the National President of the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA), Mrs. Mutiat Disu, at the State House in Abuja today, calling for a renewed focus on the wellbeing of police families. During the audience, the First Lady urged the POWA lead to champion impactful support systems that prioritize the health and socio-economic stability of officers’ wives nationwide.
Responding to the charge, Mrs. Disu expressed her readiness to align POWA’s mission with the First Lady’s Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI). She noted that the meeting provided a strategic roadmap for leveraging RHI’s existing platforms to scale up interventions in healthcare and economic empowerment for the association’s members.
The visit marks a significant step toward deepening the partnership between the Office of the First Lady and the police community. Mrs. Disu, who assumed her role following the appointment of IGP Tunji Disu in February 2026, emphasized that her leadership will remain committed to tapping into the First Lady’s experience to ensure police families are not left behind in national development programs.
Mrs. Disu, who also serves as the National President of the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA), described the meeting as insightful and inspiring. She emphasized her commitment to using RHI platforms to improve healthcare, welfare, and economic empowerment for POWA members nationwide.
“The purpose of this visit is to tap into her wealth of experience and explore how POWA can benefit from her programs,” she said.
She added that her engagement with the First Lady has already provided valuable direction, especially in areas of social intervention and healthcare support for police families.
“I’m ready to work closely with Mama to ensure our women benefit fully, especially since RHI focuses on uplifting women, and POWA is largely made up of women.”
Mrs. Disu assumed leadership of POWA following the appointment of Tunji Disu as Inspector General of Police on February 24, 2026, succeeding Kayode Egbetokun.
