As a committee member, she will serve a two-year tenure, helping to shape the organization’s policies and initiatives. Already a prominent voice within OAFLAD, Senator Tinubu is expected to play a key role in advancing the organization’s 2025-2030 Strategic Framework, which focuses on advocacy and development initiatives across Africa.

OAFLAD, a coalition of First Ladies from across the continent, works to champion social and economic development, particularly in areas such as healthcare, gender equality, and youth empowerment.
