On the occasion of the 2026 World Day Against Child Labour, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu issued a message advocating for a fairer and more promising future for every Nigerian child. She urged Nigerians to unite in raising a "red card" against child labor, emphasizing the importance of protecting children's rights to safety, education, and dignity.

Tinubu's message highlighted the theme of the day, which focused on the need for decent work for adults and the necessity of ensuring that children are not deprived of opportunities to learn and grow.
