She made this known during a meeting with the United States Special Envoy for Best Future Generations, Charles Harder, in Washington, where discussions focused on advancing the welfare of children.

The First Lady noted that the President is committed to building a strong and sustainable foundation for the country, with quality education placed at the forefront of national development efforts.

She also disclosed that her office is set to launch a nationwide campaign aimed at improving child nutrition, describing it as a key initiative to enhance the well-being of Nigerian children.

Emphasising the importance of balanced learning, Mrs Tinubu stressed that traditional books must remain a core part of education despite growing technological advancements. She warned that overreliance on social media and digital platforms could disrupt learning and limit students’ knowledge development.

In his remarks, Harder explained that the engagement was part of ongoing efforts to address the needs of children globally. He noted that the Best Future Generations initiative—championed by Melania Trump—focuses on issues such as nutrition, healthcare, and protection from abuse.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the Fostering the Future Together Global Summit, which brought together over 45 First Ladies from around the world. Participants at the summit examined critical issues affecting children, including the growing influence of artificial intelligence on young people and adolescents globally.
