The Zamfara State Council of Chiefs has conferred the traditional title of ‘Jagaban Matan Zamfara’ on Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in recognition of her standing and contributions.
The honour was bestowed on Mrs Tinubu by the traditional rulers in Zamfara State, adding another traditional title to the list of recognitions she has received in her capacity as First Lady.
The title, which translates to a leadership position among the women of Zamfara, is a mark of recognition within the state’s traditional institution.
The development has drawn attention to the growing role of traditional institutions in recognising prominent national figures and acknowledging their contributions to society.
Mrs Tinubu, a former senator, became Nigeria’s First Lady following the inauguration of her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in May 2023.
However, details surrounding the conferment, including the specific reasons cited by the council and the date of the ceremony, were not immediately available.
The Zamfara State Council of Chiefs is one of the traditional institutions that plays a significant role in preserving the state’s cultural heritage and traditional values.
