The Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Chapter of the Tinubu Torch Bearers (TTB), a women-led grassroots mobilisation movement, has held its maiden meeting with a newly constituted 50-woman committee.
Epe Insights reports that the meeting brought members together to familiarise themselves with the objectives of the movement and strengthen their commitment to grassroots engagement.
The gathering was led by the Matron of the Lekki Chapter, Alhaja Ramat Bola Kasali, wife of the Executive Chairman of Lekki LCDA.
She was joined by the Chapter Coordinator, Mrs. Gafar Shifat, and the LGA Women Leader.
The meeting provided an opportunity for the newly constituted committee members to interact, build familiarity and discuss their roles within the chapter.
The Tinubu Torch Bearers is focused on mobilising women at the grassroots and encouraging greater participation in political activities.
The Lekki LCDA Chapter’s maiden meeting marked the beginning of organised activities for the 50-member committee.
Members were introduced to the objectives and expectations of the movement as preparations continue for its forthcoming activities.
The meeting also served as a platform for strengthening unity among the women and encouraging coordinated grassroots engagement.
The committee is expected to play a role in connecting the movement with women and communities across Lekki LCDA.
Women remain an important component of grassroots mobilisation, particularly through their networks within families, communities and local organisations.
The establishment of the 50-woman committee provides a structure through which the Lekki Chapter can coordinate its activities.
Members were encouraged to remain committed to the objectives of the movement and work together towards effective grassroots participation.
As part of preparations for the forthcoming Tinubu Torch Bearers State Launch scheduled for September, official TTB clothes and caps were distributed to members of the committee.
The distribution provided members with official materials ahead of the planned state-level event.
The materials are expected to help identify members of the committee during TTB activities and engagements.
The state launch is anticipated to provide a broader platform for the various chapters to connect and strengthen their mobilisation efforts.
The Lekki LCDA Chapter is expected to participate in the launch alongside other chapters across Lagos State.
The maiden meeting also provided an opportunity for members to understand the importance of coordination in achieving the chapter’s grassroots objectives.
The leadership encouraged the women to maintain unity and support one another as the chapter develops its activities.
The involvement of women in grassroots mobilisation can also provide opportunities for greater representation and participation in political and community discussions.
The Lekki Chapter intends to use its committee structure to strengthen engagement with women and other members of the community.
The movement’s activities are centred on supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda and promoting grassroots participation ahead of the 2027 political cycle.
The Lekki Chapter’s meeting therefore represents an early organisational step towards building a stronger local mobilisation structure.
Members of the committee are expected to take their responsibilities seriously and contribute to the chapter’s activities.
The leadership also encouraged members to familiarise themselves with the objectives and programmes of the Tinubu Torch Bearers.
Effective grassroots mobilisation requires communication, teamwork and sustained engagement with community members.
The 50-woman committee provides the Lekki Chapter with a dedicated group through which these activities can be coordinated.
The maiden meeting also created an opportunity for members to discuss their expectations and strengthen relationships within the group.
Alhaja Ramat Bola Kasali’s role as Matron places her among the key figures supporting the chapter’s activities.
Her participation at the meeting underscored the chapter’s emphasis on coordination and collective participation.
The Chapter Coordinator, Mrs. Gafar Shifat, is also expected to play a central role in coordinating the activities of the committee.
The involvement of the LGA Women Leader further provides a link between the chapter and broader women-focused grassroots structures.
The leadership structure is expected to support effective coordination as the chapter prepares for the state launch.
Members were encouraged to remain active and committed to the goals of the movement.
The distribution of the official clothes and caps was another major feature of the maiden meeting.
It symbolised the formal organisation of the committee ahead of the chapter’s participation in upcoming TTB activities.
The materials also provide members with a common identity as they participate in future programmes.
The Lekki LCDA Chapter expressed optimism about the forthcoming state launch.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening women’s participation in grassroots engagement.
The chapter is expected to continue organising meetings and activities aimed at keeping members informed and coordinated.
Such engagements can help members understand their responsibilities and build stronger relationships within the movement.
The chapter also looks forward to working with other TTB structures across Lagos State.
The September state launch is expected to bring members from different chapters together for a larger mobilisation programme.
For the Lekki LCDA committee, the maiden meeting provides a foundation for future activities.
The 50 women are expected to contribute their time, networks and experience towards the chapter’s grassroots mobilisation efforts.
The leadership also encouraged members to maintain unity and uphold the objectives of the movement in their engagements.
The chapter’s activities highlight the growing role of organised women groups in grassroots political mobilisation.
By creating a structured committee, the Lekki Chapter is positioning itself to engage women across different communities within the LCDA.
The maiden meeting has therefore provided an early platform for members to understand the movement and prepare for upcoming activities.
With the state launch approaching, the chapter is expected to intensify preparations and coordination.
The distribution of official TTB clothing and caps has also helped members prepare for their participation in the event.
The Lekki LCDA Chapter expressed confidence in the committee’s ability to contribute meaningfully to its grassroots objectives.
It reiterated its commitment to strengthening women’s involvement and community engagement.
The chapter also called for continued cooperation among its members as activities progress.
The maiden meeting ultimately marked the beginning of a new organisational phase for the Tinubu Torch Bearers in Lekki LCDA.
With a 50-woman committee now constituted, the chapter has established a structure for coordinating its grassroots activities.
As preparations continue for the September state launch, members are expected to build on the unity and commitment demonstrated at the maiden meeting.
