Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has called on all women, especially mothers to ensure they give the needed re-orientation to them in order to sustain the good virtues found among the youth.
She says doing so will help project the nation positively wherever they find themselves.
She was speaking while playing host to the National Executive of the National Council for Women Societies, (NCWS) in her office at the State House Abuja, on Wednesday.
The First Lady pointed out that as mothers, the Council and indeed all women must be deliberate about protecting the youth from vices especially abuse of the social media.

She said: “The youth must realize who they are, their true identity as Nigerians and not the borrowed foreign culture. I remember that growing up when there is a birthday party, we all as children will eat from the same tray and this enhanced our oneness then. At that time, the whole village raised a child.”
Mrs. Tinubu was of the opinion that Nigerians have what it takes to help the nation overcome its current trying times.
She therefore urged the youth to always exhibit the habit of love for one another.
“We cannot wait for the Government to do everything. We must lend a helping hand to everyone around us,” she added.
