Oluremi Tinubu Urges Support for Fathers in Father’s Day Message
The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Nigerians, particularly women, to support men by providing the necessary encouragement and enabling environment for them to thrive in their roles as fathers.
In a statement released on Sunday to commemorate International Father’s Day, Senator Tinubu commended Nigerian fathers for their dedication to raising confident, responsible, and compassionate children. She also extended her appreciation to men who assume fatherly responsibilities through mentorship, guardianship, and community leadership.
According to the First Lady, the involvement of fathers is vital to building strong families and a more stable society. “When fathers are involved, families grow stronger, and so does the nation,” she said.
Her message coincides with the global celebration of Father’s Day—a day set aside to honor the significance of fatherhood and the impact fathers have on society.
Senator Tinubu’s statement reads in part: “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 added: “Let us continue to give men the support and enabling environment to function effectively as fathers. God bless all fathers, strengthen you in your responsibilities, and reward your labor with peace, joy, and fulfillment.”
The First Lady’s appeal is being hailed as a timely reminder of the importance of shared parenting responsibilities and the need to foster supportive systems that empower men in their fatherly roles.
As families across the country mark Father’s Day, Senator Tinubu’s message is expected to resonate deeply, reinforcing the value of fatherhood and its critical role in shaping future generations.
