"You are the bedrock of our nation, driving progress from our homes to our farms, boardrooms, and communities. Yet, 30 years after the Beijing Declaration, too many still face barriers that limit their potential," Tinubu stated.

“To our mothers, daughters, sisters—your strength fuels Nigeria’s future. Together, we rise! Happy International Women’s Day,” he declared.
His message has sparked conversations about the government’s role in advancing women's rights, with activists calling for tangible policies to support women's empowerment.
