First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called for an increased investment in women, describing it as a strategy for national progress.

She disclosed this in a statement shared on her X handle on Friday.

The statement read, "Today, on International Women's Day, I celebrate every woman – daughters, sisters, aunts, mothers, grandmothers and also great grandmothers, for your resilience, passion, courage that brought us thus far.

"The theme this year resonates deeply –'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress.' It's a call to action.

"This is the time to invest in women more than ever. 

"Accelerating progress in any sphere requires that women have to be more involved.

"That is why I see investing in women, not as charity, but a strategy to build the future of our dear nation, Nigeria."
