ABUJA — Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, has called on fathers to continue playing a pivotal role in shaping the next generation.

In a message released to mark the 2026 Father’s Day celebration, Senator Tinubu emphasized that fathers are instrumental in developing the character and future prospects of their children.

Her message read: “On this Father’s Day 2026, we celebrate the love, strength, and sacrifice of fathers across Nigeria and around the world.”

“Fathers play a vital role in shaping the character, confidence, and future of their children. Through their guidance, protection, and dedication, fathers help build strong families and stronger communities.”

“Today, we honour all fathers, father‑figures, role models, and mentors who show up each day, working to provide for their families.”

“May you continue to be a source of wisdom, strength, and inspiration to your families.”

The remarks arrive as many Nigerians observe the holiday with family gatherings, church services, and public events, reflecting on the social and cultural importance of fatherhood amid the country’s economic and security challenges.

By highlighting the role of fathers, Senator Tinubu’s comments underscore the quiet yet essential contribution of family leaders to national resilience and social cohesion.
