First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace generosity as a pathway to attracting abundant blessings in the New Year.
She said intentional generosity towards the less privileged should become a way of life, stressing that giving is a powerful principle that attracts blessings, prosperity, and growth.
The First Lady made the remarks while addressing reporters after receiving the first babies of 2026 at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, Abuja.
Mrs. Tinubu, who was accompanied by the wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima; the Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim; and the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mariya Mahmoud, said five newborns were received at the hospital.
The babies included the first baby of the year, a female infant delivered exactly at midnight by a 26-year-old first-time mother, Patience Adakole; a set of triplets—two boys and a girl—delivered by Blessing Oragwu after 13 years of waiting; and another baby boy.
She described the moment as deeply fulfilling and, drawing from cultural symbolism, expressed optimism that Nigeria would be blessed this year.
