Father’s Day 2025: First Lady stressed role of fathers in national development
Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has underscored the vital role fathers play in shaping the future of families and the nation, calling for continued support for men to fulfill their responsibilities as fathers and role models.
In a special message to mark Father’s Day 2025, the First Lady paid tribute to Nigerian fathers for their dedication to raising children who are “confident, responsible, and compassionate,” while also recognising men who serve in fatherhood roles through mentorship, guardianship, and leadership in their communities.
“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 stated.
Senator Tinubu stressed that creating an enabling environment for men to succeed in their fatherhood roles is critical to the well-being of families and the broader development of the country.
“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,” she said.
Concluding her message, the First Lady offered prayers of strength, peace, and fulfillment for fathers across the country, acknowledging the weight of their responsibilities and the impact of their sacrifices.
“God bless all fathers, strengthen you in your responsibilities, and reward your labour with peace, joy, and fulfilment,” she said.
