First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has called for increased investment in early childhood development, stressing that the foundation for responsible behaviour, discipline, and positive values is laid during a child's early years. She emphasized that children raised in unclean environments may grow up seeing poor sanitation as a normal way of life, making it more difficult to change harmful habits later.
She also linked environmental challenges, including blocked drainage systems and flooding, to poor sanitation practices, noting that lasting solutions require sustained education and awareness from an early age. According to the First Lady, nurturing children with the right values and environmental consciousness is essential to building healthier communities and a more sustainable future for Nigeria.
