President Bola Tinubu has lauded the resilience, brilliance, and indispensable contributions of Nigerian women as the world marks International Women’s Day 2025.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Tinubu described women as the “strength” powering the nation, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to the Renewed Hope agenda.
“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,” the president stated.
He emphasized his government’s dedication to dismantling obstacles, expanding access to finance, and ensuring equitable opportunities for women in governance, agriculture, and other sectors.
“To our mothers, daughters, and sisters—your strength fuels Nigeria’s future. Together, we rise! Happy International Women’s Day,” he wrote.
The theme for this year’s celebration is: “Invest in Women, Accelerate Action.”
