Our cultural diversity represents our collective strength — First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has said the various ethnic groups in the country should find a way to harness their diversity for collective gain.

She said that Nigeria being blessed with over 250 ethnic groups, each speaking a different language, should be enough to deepen our mutual respect and foster unity.

Mrs Tinubu said this on Wednesday on the occasion of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2025.

According to her, the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, highlights the profound strength that lies in our differences and the shared humanity that connects us all.

“There is indeed strength and unity in diversity. Nigeria, for example, is blessed with over 250 ethnic groups, each speaking a different language, but it is through our dialogue, our interactions, and our mutual respect that we find true identity and unity.

“On this day, I encourage every Nigerian to celebrate our cultural richness, to listen with empathy, and to lead with understanding. Let us embrace this journey together and shape a brighter future for Nigeria and the world,”She stated.
