Nigeria has never had as many out-of-school children as it has between 2023 and today.
In just three states, over 1k children were recruited into terrorist sects. Child hunger has gone up by 130%. Only 6.1% budgeted for education and 4.3% for health.
Happy Childrenโs Day!
MESSAGE BY THE FIRST LADY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, HER EXCELLENCY, SENATOR OLUREMI TINUBU, CON, ON CHILDRENโS DAY 2026 (WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2026).
As we celebrate this yearโs Childrenโs Day, I extend my well wishes and heartfelt love to every child across our great nation.
This yearโs theme, โFuture Now: Promoting Inclusion for Every Nigerian Child,โ reminds us that the future we desire for our children must begin today. Our children are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are active participants in shaping our present.
My message to children on this special day is to take ownership of today in a responsible and purposeful manner. The future you desire is shaped by the choices you make now. It is important to stay focused, make wise decisions, and use your time productively.
A brighter tomorrow cannot be achieved by pursuing destructive or unrealistic paths, but by building your character, discipline, and a commitment to learning and growth.
Happy Childrenโs Day to all our wonderful children!
