The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on all women, especially mothers, to see to the reorientation of youth in the nation to get them back on the path of good values and morals.
She was speaking while playing host to the National Executive of the National Council for Women Societies, NCWS in her office at the State House yesterday in Abuja. The First Lady pointed out that as mothers, the Council and indeed all women must be about seeking the youth and getting them out of the clutches of the negative aspects of social media.
“The Youth must realize who they are, their true identity as Nigerians, and not borrowed foreign culture. I remember that growing up when there was a birthday, we all eat from the same tray, and this enhanced our oneness. “At that time, the whole village raised a child.”
Senator Oluremi Tinubu was of the opinion that Nigerians have what it takes to help this Country out of trying times, which is basically compassion and love for one another. “We cannot wait for the government to do everything. We must lend a helping hand to everyone around us”.
The First Lady emphasized that she is looking to a stronger NCWS especially realizing their strength in times past. In her remarks, the National President of the NCWC Hajia Adamu Lami Lau promised to partner with the first lady on Renewed Hope Initiatives Pet Project.
She said the Council is ready to take the message of Hope, Unity, Peace and Prosperity from the First Lady to the Nigerian Women.
