Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged women across the nation to rise above fear and financial limitations in 2026, describing them as resilient and hardworking forces capable of driving personal and national transformation.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu gave the advice recently in Abuja during a visit to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, declaring the new year a season of abundant peace and prosperity for Nigeria.
Reflecting on the symbolic significance of beginning the year with new life, Mrs Tinubu expressed gratitude for Nigerians who survived the challenges of the previous year.
“In Yorubaland, they say when you have girls, they come with ease. So we believe this year is going to be a great year for us as a nation — peace in abundance and prosperity in abundance,” she said.
She urged Nigerians, particularly women, to approach the new year with gratitude, courage and generosity.
“Nigerian women are blessed and very hardworking. Whatever God has laid in your heart to do, do it. Never feel you don’t have money to start. Start small, and you will be amazed,” she advised.
Mrs Tinubu further described 2026 as a year of intentional giving, encouraging citizens to sow into the lives of the less privileged.
“This year, if you want money, you have to sow into the lives of the less privileged. It is a year of generosity,” she said.
She also directed the public to her podcast, Daughters of Zelophehad, for a fuller message on faith, purpose and women’s empowerment.
