The Nigerian Government has honoured Abibat Mogaji, President Bola Tinubu’s late mother, by naming the ICT block at the Maryam Babangida National Centre for Women Development after her.
Minister of Women Affairs Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, at the unveiling ceremony on Tuesday in Abuja, described Mogaji as a resilient matriarch and champion of women’s empowerment.
“We are gathered here to celebrate and honour the remarkable values of gender inclusion, women empowerment, and humanitarian services rendered by a resilient matriarch, mother, and amazon, the Late Chief Alhaja Abibat Mogaji.
“She served as a testament to the relentless pursuit of her unwavering commitment to the upliftment of women and the extraordinary efforts in creating a more compassionate society where no one is left behind.
“As we unveil the new name of the ICT block, let it be a symbol of our pledge to strive harder for the rights of women, to honour their contributions to our country.
“To build a society where every woman and child can fulfil their potential with dignity and pride,” the minister said.
