Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has frowned against discriminating against individuals with autism.
Tinubu expressed this in a statement made to mark the World Autism Awareness Day 2025, themed, “Advancing Neurodiversity and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.
The First Lady said that considering people living with autism is not just a moral responsibility but a vital pillar of sustainable development.
According to her, Neurodiversity is a beautiful testament to human uniqueness. We all process information differently. Yet, many individuals with autism continue to face discrimination in accessing quality education, healthcare, employment, and social acceptance. As we strive to achieve the SDGs, especially SDG 4 & 8 that covers access to quality education and economic opportunities for all.”
“On this special day, I encourage all Nigerians to embrace neurodiversity, advocate for inclusion, and work together to create a society where every individual has the opportunity to excel”, she added.
