Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on women to encourage modest dressing among young girls while actively mentoring those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Speaking at an interfaith event in Abuja, a clip of which began trending on Friday, the First Lady urged women to intentionally guide young girls and instill strong values and good virtues. She challenged women to take responsibility for mentoring at least one girl from an indigent background.
“I challenge you to have a mentee with you, not somebody you’ve been mentoring all the time, but just pour into the life of a young girl from an indigent background,” she said.
According to Oluremi Tinubu, mentorship can take many forms, including providing scholarships, encouragement, and moral guidance. “You know, help them, even if it is to give a scholarship, encourage them, and teach them. Teach them good virtue,” she said.
The First Lady emphasised modesty in dressing, noting that beauty should not be defined by revealing clothing. She also called on men to exercise restraint, adding that God would help them “crucify their eyes.”
“Teach them how to cover up, and you know, being naked is not beauty. Beauty comes from within, and our men, God will also help them and open their eyes,” she added.
The remarks highlight Oluremi Tinubu’s commitment to youth mentorship and moral guidance, encouraging women to play an active role in shaping the character and values of the next generation.
