Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu, has called
on women to dress modestly, emphasizing that true beauty comes from character,
not exposure.
Speaking at a recent interfaith event in Abuja,
Tinubu highlighted the importance of mentorship, especially for young girls
from disadvantaged backgrounds. She encouraged women to guide and support
mentees by teaching virtues, offering scholarships, and modeling good behavior.
“I challenge you to have a mentee with you—not just
someone you’ve been mentoring all the time—but pour into the life of a young
girl from an indigent background. Help them, even if it’s through a
scholarship. Encourage, teach them good virtues and how to be good women. Teach
them how to dress well,” she said.
Tinubu added that dressing immodestly is not a measure
of beauty, noting that young people are increasingly embracing revealing
styles. “Being naked is not beauty. Beauty comes from within. Our men, God will
also help them and crucify their eyes,” she stated, underscoring the need for
moral guidance alongside physical presentation.
The First Lady’s remarks reflect her broader advocacy
for mentorship, empowerment, and moral education for young women across
Nigeria.
