The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged people, especially women, to give men the support and enabling environment to function effectively as fathers.
Senator Tinubu gave this advice on Sunday in Abuja, in her message celebrating Father’s Day.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that International Father’s Day is a day set aside to honour fathers, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.
“I salute all Nigerian fathers who dedicate themselves to raising confident, responsible, and compassionate children.
“I also celebrate the men who step into fatherhood roles through mentorship, guardianship, and community leadership.
“Let us continue to give men the support and enabling environment to function effectively as fathers.
“When fathers are involved, families grow stronger, and so does the nation.
