First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has paid tribute to Nigerian fathers and men who play pivotal roles in nurturing the next generation.
In a statement to mark the 2025 Father’s Day, she 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.”
