    The First Lady spoke in the context of the 2026 World Interfaith Harmony Week, observed from February 1 to 7, with the theme, “Celebrating Peace, Honouring Leaders – From Prayer to Action.”

    According to her, interfaith harmony goes beyond symbolic gestures, requiring deliberate actions that promote tolerance, respect, and cooperation among adherents of different religions.

    She expressed optimism that Nigeria’s diversity, when guided by shared moral values, can serve as a powerful force for unity and national development.

    Senator Tinubu wished Nigerians a happy World Interfaith Harmony Week 2026, reaffirming her commitment to promoting peace, inclusion, and understanding across all faiths.

    Earlier in her message, Senator Tinubu said she was celebrating the beauty of choice, faith, and identity of Muslim women on the occasion of World Hijab Day 2026, which carries the theme “Unity in Hijab.”

    She described the hijab as a symbol of obedience, dignity, strength, and worship for many women, adding that it also serves as a reminder that diversity should unite rather than divide societies.

    The First Lady reaffirmed her commitment to promoting inclusion, understanding, and respect among Nigerians of all backgrounds, while wishing Muslim women and the wider public a happy World Hijab Day.

    World Hijab Day is observed annually to promote awareness, tolerance, and freedom of religious expression, particularly for Muslim women around the world.

  • First Lady Remi Tinubu’s impressive exertions

    First Lady Remi Tinubu’s impressive exertions

    By Ray Epku

    When Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was on exile abroad during the Abacha days of iron-fisted dictatorship, his wife Remi was with him. They were not sure when they would return to Nigeria but they made a big push for Nigeria to return to civil rule. While they were pushing for people of goodwill all over the world to join in the fight for the replacement of military rule with constitutional rule, some cowardly politicians in Nigeria chose to surrender to Sani Abacha by making him a presidential candidate in five parties.

    In the column I wrote at the time, I called it political polyandry. The Cicero of Ibadan, Chief Bola Ige described the five parties as the “five fingers of a leprous hand.” While on exile, the idea of a foundation that would help the helpless germinated in Remi’s head.

    When Abacha died and General Abdulsalami Abubakar took over as Head of State, Tinubu and Co knew it was time to come home. Tinubu contested for the governorship of Lagos State and won. Remi became the First Lady of Lagos State. She gave birth to her Foundation which she called New Era Foundation (NEF), a vehicle that she used in promoting the wellbeing of women, youths and vulnerable persons. And when she became the First Lady of Nigeria in 2023, she gave birth to a bigger foundation called Renewed Hope Initiatives (RHI). The RHI has as its focus women, youths, the elderly and the vulnerable in the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This foundation is helped by three factors (a) her experience as the First Lady of Lagos State (b) Her three term tenure as a senator and (c) her role as a pastor in a prominent Pentecostal church. These three factors have enriched her qualifications for compassion and made her a stand-out First Lady.

    The only First Lady that I can remember, who distinguished herself admirably in the pursuit of improved life especially for women was Maryam Babangida whose mandate was Better Life for Women. That focus on women was very important then as it is now because in Nigeria, women are generally very badly treated by men. They treat girls and women as second class citizens while they treat boys as royalty. If a poor man has two children, a boy and a girl, he prefers to send the boy to school and the girl into marriage. If a man has a wife who has delivered all girls, he may send her away or choose to marry another wife in the hope that the new wife will give him a male child. This male child syndrome has set many homes on fire.

    The very little importance that many men attach to women is also the reason for early marriage for women in many states of the federation. Some of them use religion as an excuse for early marriage. They say that if Prophet Mohammed married Aisha at an early age, it means that Allah had given approval for early marriage. But that was in an era where there was no respect for human rights. Today, the world has developed enhanced rights for all human beings and early marriage is forbidden in most developed and developing communities.

    Renewed Hope Initiative is striving to increase opportunities for women, youth, children, the elderly and the vulnerable across the nation in such areas as education, health, agriculture, economic empowerment, food outreach and social welfare. The First Lady works in collaboration with state governments, ministries and private sector donors.

    She has done remarkably well in various sectors. She has donated one N1 billion to the National Cancer Fund to fight the scourge of cervical cancer. She is providing support for 250 persons with disabilities in each state for them to use in recapitalizing their already existing businesses. She has donated various sums of money to victims of disasters in various states. She has empowered female farmers in various states. Under the Flow with Confidence Initiative, she is distributing tons of disposable sanitary pads to girls whose education could be stymied by the lack of such pads. She also provides food and financial relief to thousands of poor Nigerians in order to break their cycles of poverty, kill hunger, alleviate hardship and improve their living standard generally. She also provides scholarships and skills acquisition programmes for young persons to enhance their employability.

     There is also the Oluremi Tinubu Gender and Public Policy Studies Centre of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPPS) at Kuru Jos. This institute named after her is for the enhancement of fair gender issues and research. Its importance lies in the fact that gender issues can no longer be swept under the carpet but can be openly discussed and debated so as to enhance inclusivity and unity between the sexes.

    In executing these projects, the First Lady has exhibited exemplary courage by travelling to various places in the country generally considered unsafe for such visits. Naysayers may say that she is always generally surrounded by security operatives, but the truth is that even the most heavily protected politicians in the world have been tormented by people who don’t like them, their policies or their guts. So travelling to such places, all things considered, is a risk, a big risk.

    In our society, elderly people are generally very badly treated by young people. It is as if the young are saying “why are these ones still hanging around? Why don’t they go and give us space to operate?” Most states in Nigeria do not have programmes for taking care of the aged. The exceptions are Ekiti and Akwa Ibom. Perhaps there are a few others that I do not know about but it is certain that most of the states do not give some soul-lifting attention to the aged. That makes the attention that the First Lady is paying to the aged worthy of emulation by First Ladies in all the states of the federation if their husbands do not have such programmes in their states. If implemented, such programmes have the effect of giving immense joy and fulfilment to these elderly citizens in the evening of their lives. Such joy is immeasurable, because the aged constitute a huge chunk of the persons that are generally ignored in our country. They can be found among the retired military personnel, retired civil and public servants whose pensions and gratuity are often delayed or withheld or paid in bits and pieces or not paid at all for years. And these are people who had served the nation for many years in various capacities until they retired. Why should we pay them back with ingratitude at a time that they deserve our love and affection. The First Lady is showing us the way to treat them. We should in our individual and corporate capacities show them love too.

    The First Lady’s rhetoric is partly derived from her work as a pastor. She told some young persons: “Faith without work is dead. Go and work for this country. Let this country grow.” While President Bola Tinubu and the opposition are having exciting exchanges on such issues as insecurity, economy, hardship, poverty and one party state, the First Lady’s exertions are obviously adding some value to Tinubu’s achievements. That will be Mrs Tinubu’s most important contribution to 2027.

    Alaafin extols Remi Tinubu’s virtue on chieftaincy conferment

    Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade has congratulated the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her conferment with the prestigious chieftaincy title of Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.

    The installation ceremony, held at the Palace Square, coincided with celebrations marking Oba Ogunwusi’s 10th coronation anniversary.

    Oba Owoade in a congratulatory message issued by his Media and Publicity Director, Bode Durojaiye, described Yeye Oluremii Tinubu as a “woman of substance who is characterized by inner strength, integrity, and purpose, possessing traits like resilience, confidence, empathy, and intelligence, focusing on meaningful impact over superficiality, balancing personal growth with contributing to others, and demonstrating strong character, self-belief, and discipline.”

    He stated that the First Lady was an agent of change, a leader, and a reliable guide, adding value through her actions and ideas rather than just words.

    According to him, “Her integrity, honour, discipline, and self-belief are foundational. Inner strength and resilience, as she is confident, stands up for herself and others, and faces challenges head-on.

    “She understands and values others, showing empathy and kindness. The First Lady actively contributes to the world, supports causes, and aims to make a positive difference, pursues passions, prioritizes well-being, and finds happiness in meaningful pursuits, not just material gain.

    The monarch pointed out that Mrs Tinubu possesses knowledge and is a trusted voice of reason.

    He said, “She is comfortable in her own skin, values modesty, and avoids ostentation. She inspires others through her action. She leads by example, creating value through her work and ideas. She gives back to her community and supports those less fortunate.

    “You are indeed a dependable figure who brings people together through understanding. In essence, you area defined b your profound inner qualities and positive influence, not external validation”, Oba Owoade asserted.

    Remi Tinubu’s donation: Osun First Lady distributes 10,000 sanitary pads to school girls

    The Osun State First Lady, Chief Titilola Adeleke, on Monday distributed 10,000 sanitary pads to schoolgirls across the state as part of a donation from Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, aimed at promoting menstrual hygiene and supporting adolescent girls.

    The distribution, which was held at Ataoja School of Science, Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, had attendance of school girls across the state.

    Speaking at the event, the Osun First Lady disclosed that Senator Tinubu, under the renewed hope initiative, launched “Flow with confidence”, a vital menstrual health intervention designed to empower school girls by promoting knowledge, dignity and confidence through improved menstrual hygiene.

    She added that the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to improve girls’ health, reduce school absenteeism, and empower young females with essential hygiene resources.

    According to her, “No girl has to miss school because of her inability to afford sanitary pads. It is unacceptable that our girls continue to face significant challenges during their menstrual cycle, especially those in rural communities who miss school days every month because they cannot afford sanitary pads.

    “All states and federal capital territory will receive 10,000 packs each through the state First Lady and Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) coordinators. To support our girls in rural communities and those who are unable to afford sanitary pads. I will be handing over 10,000 packs of disposable sanitary pads to the First Lady of Osun State to distribute to 10,000 deserving girls in rural areas across the state. Each beneficiary will receive one year’s supply of the pads.”

    She urged the schoolgirls to make the most of the sanitary pad and warned against selling them.

    “The representatives from the school do not sell the pad. Make sure to give it to the girl child. Stay in school, study hard, support one another and never allow shame or stigma to take away your confidence. Use this opportunity to pursue your dreams boldly because you are the future of this nation, and I believe in you.”

  • Remi Tinubu: Rolling away a national embarrassment

    Remi Tinubu: Rolling away a national embarrassment

    Sir: For Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Nigeria’s First Lady, the rot must now be brought to a stop in a country seemingly stuck in a rut. Since 2006, the National Library, which was supposed to serve as a symbol of a progressive, productive country moving from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy, has stuck out like a sore thumb in its incompletion.

    To celebrate the grand occasion of her 65th birthday on September 21, the First Lady appealed to her well-wishers to use the opportunity to raise funds to facilitate the completion of the National Library. So far, well oveN20 billion has been raised. It is worth celebrating. She is worth celebrating.

    Undoubtedly, the pulse of a country, any country, can be felt, unmistakably, in the temperature that radiates from the pages of its books. From the lowest rungs of the society to the corridors of power, books that open up to embrace education, literacy, egalitarianism, equality, and measurable progress can tell a society where it is at any given moment. This has been true from time immemorial.

    All over the world, for centuries, public libraries have served as a monument to enlightenment but also equality. Indeed, in keeping books safe and accessible to all, no matter their standing in the society, public libraries have often served as a bastion of progress and a bulwark against creeping dictatorship. Yet, since 1981, when it was first mooted, Nigeria’s National Library has stood incomplete, a sign of a country racking up miles in a feverish race to return to its retrogressive past.

    In the time the National Library has stood incomplete and inconsequential, mocking a country’s futile efforts to make any appreciable progress, bloated budgets have been dedicated to far less meaningful projects by successive administrations. In the time the National Library has become a national eyesore, government houses have been renovated and refurbished many times over at outrageous amounts, even when there was no need for such; many other public structures have sprung up in different areas. There has also been no shortage of instances where government officials grew inventive in devising new ways and means to spend public resources.

    For many years, the reading culture in Nigeria has been steadily declining. Today, many young people in Nigeria would rather do anything else than open a book. With the standard of education calamitously falling at the same time, Nigeria has come to face a problem brewed by ignorance and illiteracy. The consequences have been devastating.

    With so many young people at crossroads, crime rates have soared and poverty deepened, with many young people dissatisfied with the quality of their lives.

    It is thus highly commendable that the First Lady has turned her benign attention towards such an important project. In a country where past presidents prefer to set up gigantic personal libraries, it is refreshing that something will finally be done to complete such a national monument. If she can coordinate the resources for its eventual completion, she will be fondly remembered for it. But, even more than the space its completion would reserve for her in Nigeria’s history books, she would have rolled away a national embarrassment for Nigeria while giving the country the beacon it needs to navigate its turbulent seas.
