Mrs Tinubu was speaking during the visit by the management team of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the National Sports Commission (NSC) and others, who paid her a visit at the State House in Abuja.

The visit, which was led by the Comptroller General of the NCS, Wale Adeniyi, was to honour the First Lady as the Grand Patron for the 2025 African Women’s Volleyball Championship, scheduled for April this year.

According to a statement by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady, who expressed her appreciation for the gesture, noted that the Nigeria occupies the pride of place in the sports world due to the relentless efforts of female athletes.

She urged the females who have made their mark to mentor and be role models to young Nigerian females with the message of encouragement to them.

She called on female star athletes from Nigeria to come back home and inspire other girls.

“Share not just your stories of successes and achievements but also your humble beginnings.

“I can see that out of the 4 DCGs here 3 of you are women. And that tells me you have worked, worked, worked and worked. For you to be at the top, you must have worked hard. When you have been given a platform, it is not just about you. Go on and lift others, encourage them,” she added.

Senator Tinubu, who according to her guests was fast-gaining reputation as a pillar of sports in Nigeria, particularly, where it involves women, explained that she is expected to carry yet another torch for women, this time as the Grand Patron for the 2025 African Women’s Club Volleyball Championship, to be hosted by Nigeria, with the Customs Service flying the flag of the nation.

The Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, while presenting her with the offer, said the Service has taken particular notes of her support for female athletes and teams in the country, and will want her inspire the Nigerian team to victory at the championship.

“There is a popular saying that when a woman puts her hand to the plough, the earth itself will respond to her. All your initiatives and generosity are unparalleled and this is a great source of inspiration to us all.”
