Women, who make up over 50 percent of Nigeria\u2019s population, possess a unique power to drive national change and steer the country toward a greater future. First Lady of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu stated this on Tuesday at the packed National Women Mega Empowerment and Rally in Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe significance of this gathering cannot be overstated. Women represent over 50% of the population; therefore, we are uniquely positioned to influence change and contribute our quota in steering the nation towards a greater future\u201d.<\/p>\n
She applauded the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Imaan Sulaiman Ibrahim, for delivering on the charge she gave her: \u201cGo and put money in the hands of women\u201d.<\/p>\n
The First Lady said through empowerment initiatives that enable women \u201cto make informed decisions about their lives, and in turn, families and our communities thrive\u201d, this will go a long way in ameliorating any difficulty women may be facing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This, the First Lady says aligns with President Bola Tinubu\u2019s Renewed Hope Agenda, which ensures \u201cwomen have a seat at the table and a voice in the rooms where decisions are made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senator Oluremi Tinubu reechoed President from International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria\u2019s progress has always carried the imprint of women who refused to accept limits placed before them. From those who fought for our democracy to the millions who labour daily to support their families and communities, their contributions to nation-building are profound\u2026 When Nigerian women rise, Nigeria rises\u201d.<\/p>\n
Receiving the women\u2019s charter at the Rally, she assured the women of President Bol;a Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s continued sup[port for the women.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have received your charter, and I assure you that I will deliver it to Mr. President. This is our Charter, and we will see it to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour patience, understanding, and endurance have not gone unnoticed\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first term of Mr President has been a period of laying a solid foundation through bold and necessary reforms that will usher in lasting prosperity for dear nation. Though the process has demanded sacrifice, the seed has been planted, and I am confident that Nigeria will continue to reap the fruits of these reforms in the days and years ahead\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Rally was an opportunity for the First Lady to call on women and mothers not to relent in nurturing, guiding, mentoring, and training their children and wards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge us not to relent in nurturing, guiding, mentoring, and training our children and wards. Let us raise them with discipline, with love for country, and above all with the fear of God, so that they will become responsible citizens who will build an even better Nigeria for tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n
In her address, Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, described the National Women Mega Empowerment and Rally as the emergence of a \u201ccoordinated and unstoppable force\u201d that will transform Nigeria, anchored on the deliberate alignment of 10 million women across the nation.<\/p>\n
She paid glowing tribute to the unsung resilience of Nigerian women.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the windswept plains of the North East, to the industrious heart of the South East, from the vast horizons of the North West, to the vibrant coasts of the South South, across the strength of the North Central and the enterprise of the South West; She endures, she builds, she leads. The Nigerian woman; tempered by trials, refined by resilience, a quiet force, yet a formidable power, the keeper of hope, the driver of progress, and the steady soul of our nation\u201d.<\/p>\n
She described the rally as a deliberate convergence of this national tapestry into a![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alimoshotv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260505-WA0189-300x188.jpg\")
single movement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we do not gather as fragmented voices, but as one united movement shaped by geography, experience, and destiny\u2026 This is the essence of the Power of 10 Million Women; a deliberate alignment of strength into action, of voices into authority, and of presence into impact. We come together under one defining mandate: One Voice, One Movement, One Choice, a unified declaration that Nigerian women will no longer speak in isolation, but act in concert; not only participate in nation\u2011building, but shape its direction and outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Minister insisted that Nigerian women are not spectators in the nation\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerian women are not spectators in the democratic journey of our nation. We are builders, drivers, and partners in progress. Across every sector, we power growth, sustain communities, and shape the future. This moment calls us beyond participation to influence, and from inclusion to leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Minister credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s leadership with turning policy into practical action.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the visionary leadership of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we have witnessed a decisive shift from policy to action. Critical reviews and reforms of policies affecting women, children, and vulnerable groups\u2026 are now being repositioned under the Renewed Hope Agenda to reflect contemporary needs, global standards, and the lived realities of Nigerians. This is what Renewed Hope means in practice: responsive governance, adaptive policy frameworks, and a deliberate commitment to ensuring that no woman, no child, and no vulnerable citizen is left behind\u201d.<\/p>\n
Central to her address was the formal presentation of the Women\u2019s Charter for National Development, which she delivered to the First Lady for onward transmission to the President.<\/p>\n
\u201c This Charter represents the collective voice, aspirations, and strategic expectations of Nigerian women. It is not merely a document; it is a social contract, a policy compass, and a bold declaration of our place in the future of this nation\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithin this Charter, we call for greater political inclusion, increased representation, dedicated financing for women\u2019s development, expanded economic opportunities, strengthened family systems, improved child welfare, and deeper inclusive governance. Your Excellency ma, these are not demands of privilege, but imperatives for national progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giving overview of the ‘Power of 10 million’ movement by Wife of the Imo State Governor Chioma Uzodimma, and Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, described the event as a pivotal shift for Nigerian women.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here to set an agenda\u2026 for the power of 10 million women empowerment\u2026 What we are witnessing today is not simply a large gathering. It\u2019s a deliberate step towards recognising how Nigerian women participate in national development for decades\u2026 Yet that contribution has not always translated into structured influence. What this moment represents is a shift from effort without coordination to participation with clear direction and purpose\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen are not waiting to be empowered. We are already working from the woman in Kano running her trade to the farmer in Benue to the entrepreneur in Lagos to the public servant in Abuja\u2026 The challenge has not been capacity. It has been connection. What the power of 10 million Movement seeks to do is to bring that connection\u2026 When we speak about 10 million women, we are not speaking in abstract terms. We are referring to a structured base women across the 774 local government areas\u2026 10 million women who are informed, aligned and intentional will not only participate in development, they\u2019ll influence its direction. Will shape conversations around governance, around economic inclusion and around community development\u201d.
