President Bola Tinubu has celebrated the resilience of Nigerian women at home and abroad, highlighting their pivotal role in nation-building.

Tinubu in an International Women’s Day message released today via social media said, “Across our homes, farms, markets, offices, and the halls of leadership, Nigerian women continue to demonstrate strength, courage, and determination that help hold our nation together.”

He praised them as “mothers who nurture, entrepreneurs who build, professionals who lead, and citizens who continue to shape the destiny of our country with resilience and dignity.”

The President reflected on their historical impact, noting, “Nigeria’s progress has always carried the imprint of women who refused to accept limits placed before them. From those who fought for our democracy to the millions who labour daily to support their families and communities, their contributions to nation-building are profound.”

Tinubu recommitted his administration to empowerment, declaring, “Our duty as a government and as a society is to continue creating the conditions where every Nigerian girl can learn, every woman can thrive economically, and every voice can contribute to our national development.”

He concluded with an uplifting rallying cry, “When Nigerian women rise, Nigeria rises. Today we honour their strength, their sacrifices, and their enduring role in the story of our country.”
