Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has strongly advocated for all citizens to secure their National Identity Numbers (NIN). She emphasized that maintaining precise population records is vital for successful government planning and the delivery of public services. During the commemoration of World Population Day, the First Lady highlighted that the nation’s rising population density makes the availability of trustworthy data a critical necessity for future development.
Mrs. Tinubu stressed that when the government has access to accurate demographic information, it can better allocate resources and provide necessary support for the expanding populace. Beyond identification, the First Lady called for increased investments in human capital, specifically focusing on youth and women. She argued that prioritizing high-quality education, healthcare, and equal opportunities is essential for enabling citizens to thrive.
She framed the nation’s rapid growth as an opportunity for improved governance and increased personal responsibility. By working together, Mrs. Tinubu believes the country can better serve its families, empower the younger generation, and foster long-term national prosperity.
