Baby Chioma received gifts, cash, and a hard copy of her birth registration certificate, presented by the First Lady’s representative. Several other newborns at the hospital were also celebrated and gifted to mark their arrival into the new year.
This gesture aligns with Senator Tinubu’s commitment to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for Nigerian families. Earlier in her New Year message, the First Lady assured Nigerians of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s dedication to advancing the nation’s economy and fostering unity.
“As we journey through 2025, let us rise above our differences and rebuild the bridges that connect us—bridges of love, respect, and understanding,” she stated.
The First Lady called on citizens to invest in one another, nurture the youth, and protect the dignity of elders, emphasizing the vision of a united Nigeria where every individual can thrive.
