MESSAGE BY THE FIRST LADY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, HER EXCELLENCY, SENATOR OLUREMI TINUBU, CON ON THE COMMEMORATION OF THE 2026 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY (March 8th, 2026).

Today, on International Women’s Day 2026, I join millions of Nigerians and the global community in celebrating the strength, courage, tenacity, and achievements of women and girls across Nigeria and around the world.

This year’s theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” reminds us that empowering women is not an act of charity; it is an investment in our collective future. When we give women access to education, healthcare, economic empowerment, leadership platforms, justice and equity, we gain stronger families, more prosperous communities, and a more inclusive nation.

When women rise, Nigeria rises!

Happy International Women’s Day!

Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, CON
First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
