The Wife of Nigerian President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, said on Tuesday in Abuja that she would collaborate with the First Lady of the Republic of Cameroon, Mrs. Chantal Biya, in the areas of women and children development.
Mrs. Buhari said this when she received Mrs. Biya, who is on a two-day official visit to Nigeria with her husband, President Paul Biya.
“We can also discuss on how we can partner to enhance the activities of our foundations (pet projects).
“As wives of leaders, our humanitarian service is like bridging the gap between the government and the people of the country,” she said.
Mrs. Buhari said that she had been working hard to build her pet project, “Future Assured” with the help of governors’ wives and associates and that the pet project was aimed at improving the health of women and children in the country.
She thanked Biya and his wife for their visit to the country.
Earlier, Mrs. Biya commended Mrs. Buhari for her commitment to improving the health of women and children in Nigeria.
She said that her foundation would work with Mrs. Buhari’s pet project to better the lives of women and children in both countries.
“I am very pleased to meet you, Mrs. Buhari. It is like a family matter,” she said.
