In a heartfelt message to mark Father’s Day 2025, Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, paid tribute to Nigerian fathers and men who play pivotal roles in nurturing the next generation.
In a statement she personally signed, the First Lady said, “On this Father’s Day, I salute all Nigerian fathers who dedicate themselves to raising confident, responsible, and compassionate children. I also celebrate the men who step into fatherhood roles through mentorship, guardianship, and community leadership.”
She reiterated the importance of supporting men in their roles as fathers, stating, “Let us continue to give men the support and enabling environment to function effectively as fathers. When fathers are involved, families grow stronger, and so does the nation.”
Concluding her message with a blessing, Mrs. Tinubu prayed, “God bless all fathers, strengthen you in your responsibilities, and reward your labour with peace, joy, and fulfilment. Happy Father’s Day.”
