Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on government agencies, civil society organisations, parents, and all stakeholders to collaborate in creating a safe and protective environment where children can thrive without fear.
Her remarks were part of a statement marking the 2025 World Day for the Prevention and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Violence, observed under the theme: “Strengthening the Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse Through Evidence-Based Policy Making.”
The First Lady emphasised that safeguarding children requires more than good intentions.
She urged policymakers, educators, and parents to adopt evidence-based strategies and community-driven approaches that prevent abuse, promote healing for survivors, and strengthen systems that uphold children’s rights across Nigeria.
