First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu says focusing on Early Child Education is a potent means to shape the life of the child and ensure a formidable future not only for the individual but the nation as a whole.
\nShe pointed out that these are the formative years that shape outcomes of life.
\nThe First Lady was speaking at a high-level forum of women leaders with the central theme, \u201cInvesting in Early Childhood to Build Human Capital Throughout Life\u201d held in Bujumbura.
\nSenator Oluremi Tinubu who joined voices with other First Ladies present said the role of women in nurturing the child is an important one especially at the early stage in life as this period is a strong determinant of how the child turns out in life.
\n\u201cOver the years, research has shown that the early years, particularly from birth to age eight, are crucial for a child\u2019s cognitive, physical, and emotional growth. These years lay the foundation for their future, impacting not just education but also their long-term social, economic, and emotional well-being. Early childhood development also forms the cornerstone of sustainable development and national prosperity\u201d.
\n\u201cAs First Ladies, we hold a unique position of influence, and with that comes the responsibility to shape policies that impact generations. I strongly believe that early childhood development should be at the top of our agenda due to its transformative impact on individuals and society. As women leaders and mothers of the nation, we have the ability to advocate for, influence, and lead social change, particularly for women and children. In my opinion, the first step for early years is to garner more support to compliment Government\u2019s efforts to effectively implement early childhood education policies. As Nigeria\u2019s first Lady and a lifelong teacher, I recognise that Early childhood development is one of the most critical areas where we can make a lasting difference\u201d.
\nWhile declaring the forum open, the President of the Republic of Burundi \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye noted that the family remains an integral factor in child outcomes in life and urged both parents to take the task more seriously.
\n\u201cWe cannot develop ourselves or our children without our culture. We have everything needed to succeed in our culture. Good relationship between the couple is important in raising good children\u201d.
\nOther speakers at the Forum including the First Ladies of Slovania, DRC, Gambia, Turkiye and representatives of the UN and UNICEF harped on school feeding as an incentive to get children to come to school at an early age especially in Africa.
\nThey also spoke about enhancing peace in the region to make early child education as a means of a better future for the region.
\nThis is the Fifth edition of the Forum of Women Leaders to be held in Bujumbura, Burundi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
