The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has praised the resilience, courage, sacrifice and achievements of women in Nigeria and across the world.

In a message issued to mark the 2026 Mother’s Day celebration, Tinubu described mothers as the silent architects of the nation’s future and the enduring heartbeat of every home.

“Today, I honour and celebrate every mother across Nigeria. Your love, care and sacrifices do not go unnoticed,” she said.

“Beyond the big sacrifices, it is the small, quiet moments that truly define a mother’s love. On this special day, we carry those moments in our hearts and say thank you for the warmth and love you selflessly give.

“To all mothers who nurture, love and shape our families, you are the heroes of our nation,” Oluremi said.

The First Lady also commended mothers for their crucial role in nurturing families and urged them to continue guiding their children.

“I implore our mothers to continue to teach and guide the children, passing down wisdom and strength that will benefit future generations.

“May we all live to enjoy the fruits of our labour over our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”

Mother’s Day is observed in March to celebrate mothers, motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society.

The occasion is marked on different dates around the world, most commonly in March or May.
