Oluremi Tinubu urges stakeholders to close gender gaps

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.

She described the theme for the 28th OAFLAD General Assembly, “Educate Her and Transform Africa: Enhancing Access to Health and Education for the 21st Century African Women and Girls” as apt as it addresses the very essence of the quest for a thriving and progressive continent.

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.

She said education empowers individuals and communities, which in turn has direct influence on health outcomes.
