According to him, their contributions to nation-building remain profound and indispensable.
Tinubu also stressed the responsibility of government and society to create opportunities that enable Nigerian women and girls to realise their full potential.
“Our duty as a government and as a society is to continue creating the conditions where every Nigerian girl can learn, every woman can thrive economically, and every voice can contribute to our national development,” he said.
The President added that the nation’s growth is closely tied to the advancement of women, noting that when Nigerian women rise, the country rises with them.
He concluded by honouring the strength, sacrifices and enduring role of women in Nigeria’s development, wishing them a happy International Women’s Day.
