First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Thursday expressed deep concern over the recent mass abductions occurring in different parts of the country, describing the situation as troubling.
During a Christmas interaction with children at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja, Mrs. Tinubu noted that government officials were actively working to tackle the nation’s security issues, particularly those affecting children.
Commenting on the ongoing rescue efforts, the First Lady said the administration had responded swiftly to the incidents, but emphasized that securing a country as large as Nigeria requires patience and a collective, sustained national commitment.
She said several children who attended the event expressed interest in joining the military, adding that their enthusiasm reflected a growing desire among young Nigerians to contribute to national security.
Mrs Remi Tinubu also used the Christmas programme, which brings together children from less-privileged backgrounds, to encourage Nigerians to embrace cultural identity and show generosity during the festive season.
According to her, Christmas offers an opportunity to promote storytelling and traditions that reflect African heritage, while strengthening community support through acts of giving.
Remi Tinubu urged Nigerians to prioritise helping others in the coming year, noting that generosity remains central to building resilient communities.
