Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has arrived in Anambra State for an official visit.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his wife received her at the airport on Thursday along with other state leaders.

The First Lady came with her delegation to carry out official functions in the state.

Her main purpose for the visit is to launch the National Community Food Bank Programme for the South-East Zone and to open an ICT Centre at Federal Polytechnic, Oko.

The food bank initiative, which Senator Tinubu created, aims to tackle the problem of malnutrition affecting many children and women across Nigeria.

She is running the programme in partnership with the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency and other partners in each region.

The first food bank centre will be set up tomorrow at Amawbia Primary Health Centre.

It will serve the Anambra Central Senatorial District and also provide support to centres in Anambra South and North Senatorial zones.

The programme targets children and women who have been identified as having moderate or severe acute malnutrition.
