On the International Day of Education 2026, First Lady Remi Tinubu has called on Nigerians to deeply reflect on this years’ theme: “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation.”
In her message to Nigerians on Sunday, she reiterated that education remained the most powerful tool for acquiring knowledge, values, creativity, and ethical judgment needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world.
According to her: “As we embrace artificial intelligence and innovation, we must ensure that technology serves humanity, not the other way around.
“Humans must remain the drivers of AI, harnessing innovation while preserving the values that define us and sustain development.
“In Nigeria, our priority is to invest in quality, inclusive education that empowers our children and youth to think critically, act responsibly, and embrace the future with confidence and compassion.”
