Theme: Rural Development: Resilience to Global Change

Today, on World Rural Development Day 2025, with the theme “Rural Development: Resilience to Global Change,” speaks aptly to the heart of the challenges faced by the nations of the World.

Rural communities are the bedrock upon which lasting national development is built. Therefore, we need to empower our rural populations to adapt and thrive in the face of the growing challenges of climate change, economic uncertainty, and communal conflicts.

Let us work together to ensure that no community is left behind as we build a stronger, more resilient Nigeria.

Happy World Rural Development Day!

Her Excellency,
Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON
FIRST LADY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
