President Bola Tinubu has praised the invaluable contributions of women as the world marks this year’s International Women’s Day.
In a statement issued on Saturday, he commended the resilience, brilliance, and essential roles of Nigerian women, referring to them as the “strength” that drives the nation forward.
He emphasized that his administration remains dedicated to fulfilling the Renewed Hope agenda.
“You are the foundation of our nation, fueling progress from our homes to farms, boardrooms, and communities. However, despite 30 years since the Beijing Declaration, many still face barriers that hinder their full potential.
“Our administration is committed to breaking down these obstacles, increasing access to finance, and ensuring equal opportunities in governance, agriculture, and all sectors.
“To our mothers, daughters, and sisters—your strength powers Nigeria’s future. Together, we rise!
“Happy International Women’s Day,” he added.
This year’s theme is: “Invest in Women, Accelerate Action.”
