Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians to support the completion of the National Library project as her 65th birthday gift.
Instead of hosting a lavish celebration on September 21, 2025, she plans to dedicate the day to God and this worthy cause.
“By the special grace of God, I will be turning 65 years old on the 21st September 2025, and this happens to be a Sunday. This is why I have decided to dedicate the day to God for all his blessings in my life and having a quiet birthday,” she said in a video message.

The First Lady urged well-wishers to convert birthday gifts and greetings into donations for the National Library project.
“I wish to appeal to those who would like to send a birthday card, cakes, flowers, greetings in the newspapers, or gifts should please send the funds to the designated account for a special project close to my heart, among many others.
“The completion of the National Library, this would be the best birthday present I could receive. My love for education has informed my decision to dedicate my birthday to this worthy cause,” she added.
The fund is coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Education under the “Oluremi at 65 Education Fund,” Zenith Bank Plc, account number 1310314977.
Her spokesperson, Bukola Kukoyi, cautioned the public against fake accounts, saying, “Announcement from the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria… Please discredit any other account information.“
