Wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, has advocated the need for stakeholders to close gender gaps militating against the development of girls and women.
She made the call while addressing participants at 28th General Assembly of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD).
According to the Nigerian First Lady, closing the gender gap is not an act of charity but of justice.
She explained that without education, girls lack skills to support themselves and access information to make informed choices about their health and future, with school dropouts further fueling the cycle of poverty and gender inequality.
The President’s wife noted that across the world, education and health form an inseparable foundation for societal progress by shaping knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
