As we mark this year’s Children’s Day, I extend my warmest wishes and love to every child across our great nation. This year’s theme, “Stand Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation,” speaks to our shared responsibility to protect and empower the young hearts and minds who represent the promise of Nigeria’s future.
Whether it occurs in schools, in communities, or online, bullying leaves lasting wounds that hinder a child’s emotional, social, and academic development.
Every child deserves to grow up in an environment that is safe, supportive, and free from fear.
As a mother, I call on all Nigerians to take an active stand against bullying. Let us teach our children that strength lies in compassion, and that true leadership begins with looking out for one another.
Happy Children’s Day.
Her Excellency,
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON
First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
