Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on women to take responsibility for mentoring young girls, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and promoting modest dressing. Speaking at an interfaith event in Abuja, she emphasised the importance of guiding young girls and instilling strong values in them. Tinubu challenged women to mentor at least one girl from an indigent background, providing scholarships, encouragement, and moral guidance where possible. She said, 'I challenge you to have a mentee with you, not somebody you've been mentoring all the time, but just pour into the life of a young girl from an indigent background. "You know, help them, even if it is to give a scholarship, encourage them, and teach them. Teach them good virtue. "Teach them how to be good women, teach them how to dress well, because we see that our young people, you know, they've really taken it. I don't read social media, so it doesn't bother me". She stressed that beauty should not be defined by revealing clothing and urged women to teach young girls the importance of modest dressing. The First Lady also emphasised the need for men to exercise restraint, saying God would help them "crucify their eyes." "Teach them how to cover up, and you know, being naked is not beauty. You know, we don't know why they are doing that, but beauty comes from within, you know, and our men, God will also help them and open their eyes", she added.
