The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has enjoined parents and guardians to take an active stand against bullying among children in order to protect them and ensure a brighter for them.
In her message in commemoration of 2025 Children’s Day, the first lady extends her profound love to every child across the nation.
She said that every child deserves to grow up in an environment that is safe, supportive, and free from fear.
“This year’s theme, “Stand Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation,” speaks to our shared responsibility to protect and empower the young hearts and minds who represent the promise of Nigeria’s future.
“Whether it occurs in schools, in communities, or online, bullying leaves lasting wounds that hinders a child’s emotional, social, and academic development.
“As a mother, I call on all Nigerians to take an active stand against bullying. Let us teach our children that strength lies in compassion, and that true leadership begins with looking out for one another,” Tinubu said.
Children’s Day highlights the importance of children’s rights, provides a platform for awareness and advocacy, and promotes the well-being of children worldwide.
It also serves as a reminder to invest in children, as their healthy development is crucial for a better future for all.
