As Nigeria steps into a new year, the Ojelabi Abiola Tenigbola Foundation (OATF) extends heartfelt New Year greetings to the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
According to the Visioner and Founder of the Foundation, Ms. Ojelabi Abiola Tenigbola, who is fondly called God’s Own Daughter (G.O.D), “the New Year presents a sacred opportunity for reflection, renewal, and recommitment to the values that uphold our shared humanity. At OATF, we believe that every Nigerian — woman, man, and child —carries inherent dignity and God-given worth, and that a nation truly prospers when it protects this dignity and actively prevents harm.
“In the year ahead, we call on families, communities, institutions, faith leaders, men, and young people to recommit themselves to:
- Upholding human dignity in homes, schools, workplaces, and public spaces
- Rejecting all forms of sexual and gender-based violence
- Raising boys and men as protectors, allies, and advocates for justice
- Creating safe environments where survivors are believed, supported, and restored
“OATF remains steadfast in its mission to restore God-identity, prevent harm, and raise a generation of spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy, and purpose-driven individuals. We reaffirm our commitment to partnering with stakeholders across Nigeria to build systems of prevention, accountability, healing, and hope.
“As we journey into this New Year, may Nigeria experience renewed compassion, strengthened values, responsible leadership, and collective courage to confront harm wherever it exists.
“On behalf of the Board, partners, volunteers, and beneficiaries of the Ojelabi Abiola Tenigbola Foundation, we wish Nigeria peace, dignity, justice, and divine guidance in the New Year,” she said.
The Ojelabi Abiola Tenigbola Foundation (OATF) is a values-driven organization committed to preventing harm before it happens.
Rooted in reverence, responsibility, and purpose, we promote dignity through: Emotional intelligence, Value-based education, men’s engagement and cultural influence. We are spiritually grounded and inclusive, welcoming all who uphold human dignity.
