Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has delivered a powerful call to action, urging Nigerians to unite against bullying to create a safer, more nurturing environment for the nation’s children.
In her message in commemoration of 2025 Children’s Day, the first lady emphasized the critical need to protect young minds from the lasting scars of bullying, whether in schools, communities, or online.
She said the year’s theme, “Stand Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation,” reflects a collective duty to nurture the emotional and psychological well-being of children across the nation.
She asserted: “Whether it occurs in schools, in communities, or online, bullying leaves lasting wounds that hinder a child’s emotional, social, and academic development.
“Every child deserves to grow up in an environment that is safe, supportive, and free from fear.
“Let us teach our children that strength lies in compassion, and that true leadership begins with looking out for one another.”
