President Bola Tinubu has extolled the virtue of women as the world celebrates this year’s International Women’s Day.
In a statement signed by him on Saturday, he praised the resilience, brilliance, and indispensable contributions of Nigerian women, describing them as the “strength” that powers the country.
He said his administration is committed to actualising the Renewed Hope agenda.
“You are the bedrock of our nation, driving progress from our homes to our farms, boardrooms, and communities. Yet, 30 years after the Beijing Declaration, too many still face barriers that limit their potential.
“Our administration is committed in our Renewed Hope pledge to dismantle obstacles, expand access to finance, and ensure equitable opportunities in governance, agriculture, and every sector.
“To our mothers, daughters, sisters—your strength fuels Nigeria’s future. Together, we rise!
“Happy International Women’s Day,” he wrote.
