The President made the statement on International Women’s Day 2025, today, Saturday 8 March, 2025.
President Tinubu wrote:
On this #InternationalWomensDay , I celebrate the resilience, brilliance, and indispensable contributions of Nigerian women. 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
