First Lady celebrates first baby born on New Year’s Day in Abuja

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has celebrated a baby girl who is the first baby born on New Year’s Day at the Asokoro General Hospital, Abuja.

During a visit to the baby, Tinubu, who was represented by the wife of the Vice President Hajia Nana Shetimma, prayed for her and admonished her parents to give her adequate attention and care.

She said the health and wellbeing of the child should always be priority.

She then presented gifts and cash to the 3.6kg baby, Chioma Odion Oyigbo, who was born at 12:27am.

The baby was also presented with the hard copy of her birth registration certificate at the event.

Other babies were also presented with gifts to celebrate their birth.

In her New Year message, Tinubu assured Nigerians that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, is already undertaking measures that will deepen the nation’s economy and place it on the much desired pedestal.

She added,“As we journey through 2025, let us rise above our differences and rebuild the bridges that connect us—bridges of love, respect, and understanding. It is a year to invest in one another; to nurture our youth and protect the dignity of our elders; to create a country where every Nigerian can thrive, regardless of where they are born, what they believe, or what language they speak.

“Let us stand together, lifting each other up, and ensuring no one is left behind.

“Together, we can build the Nigeria we all desire. Together, we will.
Happy New Year, Nigeria.”
