" 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 was what she
would be preaching to bring an end to insurgency and
terrorism including the menace of Boko Haram islamic
sect 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, had signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with some international health agencies and hospitals 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, the 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.
