First Lady Urges Action On Girl-child Welfare

First lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, has urged collective action to support the girl-child, saying every girl deserves the chance to reach her full potential.

In her message to mark the International Day of the Girl Child 2025, themed “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis,” the first lady called attention to the daily struggles faced by girls across the world.

She acknowledged the resilience of girls who, despite difficult circumstances, continue to pursue education and survival with courage and determination.

“To every brave girl, striving to reach the classroom, walking miles for water, or carrying the quiet strength of displacement, you are seen, you are heard and valued. Your courage lights the way to a brighter future,” Mrs Tinubu said.

She emphasised the need for society to come together in supporting girls to reach their maximum potential.

“Happy International Day of the Girl Child 2025,” she said.
