Oluremi Tinubu also called on women to serve as beacons of hope and unity, advocating for their role in national healing and development.
“It is important for women to work together, and we must see ourselves playing the role of healing our nation. Do not be distracted by the current challenges but focus on the assignment of promoting equity, equal rights, and righteousness,” she added.

“Women are light and must always stand as light and shine whether in the church or in the mosque; we must stand as women of faith,” the First Lady concluded.
