First lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian women to fulfill their God-given potential, saying it is their collective responsibility to work towards a future where every woman and girl can fulfill their potential.
She made the call at an event organised by a non-governmental organisation, Women Helping Hand Initiative (WHHi) in commemoration of the 2024 International Women’s Day in Abuja yesterday.
Represented by the FCT mandate secretary, Women Affairs Secretariat, Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi, she noted that it was important to acknowledge the discrimination, violence inequality that women often encounter.
According to her, “Women have been overcoming ruthless obstacles through resilience and determination in their various fields of endeavours; and as we reflect on the progress we have made, we must also acknowledge the challenges that still lie ahead.”
