Today, we honour our first teachers, silent defenders, and tireless nation-builders…our fathers. To be a father is to carry the weight of responsibility with quiet strength. It is to sacrifice comfort so your children can dream, to model discipline, and to lead with love and firmness. These are the same values that hold a nation together. As a father and grandfather, I know that no title is more sacred. The home is the first institution of leadership, and our country is only as strong as the men who lead with integrity within their families. Thank you to all Nigerian fathers, biological and symbolic, home and abroad. Your everyday labours shape the character of our country and the future of our children. Happy Father’s Day. ~ President Bola Ahmed Tinubu The Aso Villa Abuja
