Speaking during an interfaith Iftar and Lent breaking of fast she hosted for Muslim and Christian women in Abuja on Thursday, March 5, Tinubu challenged women to deliberately invest in the lives of girls from indigenous and disadvantaged backgrounds.
The First Lady’s remarks were seen in a video shared on X on Friday, March 6.
Addressing the gathering, Tinubu encouraged women to take up mentorship roles and support young girls through guidance, education, and moral upbringing.
“I challenge you to have a mentee,” she said.
“Pour into the life of a young girl from an indigenous background. Help them even if it is to give them a scholarship, encourage them.”
She also advised women to teach young girls values that would shape their conduct and self-image.
“Teach them good virtue, how to be good women, how to dress well. Teach them how to cover up,” she added.
The First Lady, who expressed concern about trends she described as immodest dressing, stressed that beauty should be defined by inner values rather than outward exposure.
“Being naked is not beauty. We don’t know why they’re doing that, but beauty comes from within.”
Oluremi, however, noted that men should also play their part in promoting moral values:
“Our men, God will also help them and crucify their eyes."

Oluremi Tinubu opens up about persecution
Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, said she faced death threats for being married to a Muslim. She recalled a cleric saying she deserved to die for her faith.
She explained the hostility came because of her Christian faith and interfaith marriage. Many who defended her were Muslims from Northern Nigeria. She said Jesus gave her peace, and her husband was a good man.
The First Lady, who rejected claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria, said terrorism, crime, and instability drive violence, not religion. She, however, praised the United States military for helping prevent attacks during Christmas in Nigeria.
