Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reiterated her dedication to promoting the rights and well-being of people living with albinism across the country.
In a statement released on Friday in Abuja, the First Lady expressed her support for Nigeria’s albino community as they joined the global observance of International Albinism Awareness Day.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the theme for 2025 is: “Demanding Our Rights: Protect Our Skin, Preserve Our Lives.”
Describing the theme as a compelling call to action, Tinubu emphasized that individuals with albinism deserve not only equal rights but also dignity, safety, and access to quality healthcare.
“I reaffirm my commitment to championing inclusive policies and public awareness initiatives that safeguard the rights of persons with albinism,” she said.
“We must work towards building a society where every Nigerian, regardless of skin condition, can live with pride and dignity,” she added.
NAN also reported that the albino community in Nigeria has recently launched a nationwide campaign to combat discrimination and promote inclusion for persons living with albinism.
