The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on the public, particularly women, to create an atmosphere that allows men to thrive in their roles as fathers.
Speaking in Abuja on Sunday in commemoration of Father’s Day, Mrs. Tinubu emphasized the importance of supporting men in both their familial and societal responsibilities.
The News Agency of Nigeria noted that International Father’s Day is dedicated to honouring fathers, celebrating fatherhood, and acknowledging the role of paternal bonds in shaping communities.
“I salute all Nigerian fathers who dedicate themselves to raising confident, responsible and compassionate children,” she said.
“I also celebrate the men who step into fatherhood roles through mentorship, guardianship, and community leadership.”
She further encouraged everyone to foster a supportive environment for men, noting that the involvement of fathers strengthens both families and the nation.
“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.”
“God bless all fathers, strengthen you in your responsibilities, and reward your labour with peace, joy, and fulfilment,” she added.
