The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has warned that Nigerian children risk losing their identity if necessary actions are not taken to address the issue.
She issued this warning at an event titled “Celebrating the Organized,” part of the activities marking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s first year in office.
The event was organized to honor women who have made significant contributions in their various fields, communities, and the nation at large.
Mrs. Tinubu emphasized the importance of women as the foundation of the home and society, highlighting the need to continue nurturing children, instilling good morals, and preserving cultural and traditional values.
“Gathered here today are women from across all sectors of our society, who have individually and collectively contributed to the development of our great nation. Every woman, irrespective of age is a mother, a nurturer, a builder and the foundation upon which our families, communities and institutions thrive.”
She expressed concern that without intervention, the current state of society could lead to children losing their identity.
The First Lady urged women to become unifying forces in their homes and communities to drive greater prosperity for the nation.
She encouraged drawing inspiration from the legacies of pioneering women who have paved the way.
“When mothers stand with you, the house is in order. Looking ahead, we must endeavour to become the unifying force in our homes and our communities, to bring about greater prosperity for our nation”.
“Let us continue to draw from the lessons of the pioneers who have paved the way and build on the legacies they have left behind”.
