Mrs. Tinubu highlighted that this year’s theme, “Challenging Narratives, Reshaping Action,” is a powerful reminder to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete steps to guarantee the safety of students, teachers, and learning environments throughout Nigeria.

The First Lady emphasized that education must never be compromised, warning that a society that fails to protect its schools endangers its own future.

She said: “The theme calls us to move beyond words and take stronger action to safeguard education. Education is the foundation of hope, and safeguarding it means securing our future. I appreciate organisations such as UNICEF, UNESCO, and the Education Above All Foundation for their efforts in advancing child education globally.”

While commending the work of security agencies, she urged them to intensify efforts to ensure stronger protection for schools nationwide.

“In Nigeria, our security agencies are doing their best, but protecting schools must remain a shared national priority,” she added.
