The First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan on
Friday inaugurated the Subsidy
Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme
Maternal and Child Health otherwise known
as MAMA Project with a declaration that
henceforth she should no longer be called
Patience but “Mama Peace.”
According to her, the peace evangelism is
what she would be preaching to bring an end
to insurgency and terrorism in the country.
Speaking at the Banquet Hall of the
Presidential Villa, Abuja venue of the event,
she also stated that her Non-Governmental
Organisation, Women for Change Initiative,
has signed a Memorandum of Understand
with some international health agencies and
hospitals, which have agreed to build, equip
and manage the best hospital for women
and children in Africa.
The SURE-P MCH is a direct intervention by
the Federal Government using the savings
from the fuel subsidy removal to reduce the
incidence of maternal and child mortality.
The First Lady said, “My name is no more
Patience but now Mama Peace because I
believe that without peace, there will be no
more women, no more children and no more
health sector. Without peace, our
international community will be afraid to
come and invest in our country.
“Peace is from the heart and not from the
tongue or lips; not what you say but what is
in you. We pray for genuine peace because
peace is the key to our arriving at our
desired destination as a nation.
“We are approaching the new year which is a
year of peace, progress and so many good
things to come. 2014 is going to be a year of
no militancy and no Boko Haram because
God will shower peace and make us take a
U-turn from disaster.”
