During a recent event at the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences in Asaba, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu was met with a lighthearted and spontaneous reaction from some students. The incident occurred on March 25, 2025, during the Renewed Hope Initiative's donation of 10,000 professional kits to midwives in the South-South zone, aimed at reducing infant and maternal mortality in Nigeria.

A video capturing the students' playful chant quickly went viral, leading to widespread discussions on social media. In response, the college issued a query to a student, Edobor Osatohemwen, for posting the video online, which sparked further public outcry. Subsequently, the institution withdrew the query following directives from the Delta State government.
First Lady Tinubu addressed the situation through her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, emphasizing the importance of balancing institutional discipline with understanding students' expressions. She appreciated the warm reception from the Delta State Government and the enthusiasm shown by nurses, midwives, women's groups, and student nurses during the event. Acknowledging the students' actions as a "lighthearted and jovial" expression, she urged the college to handle the matter with fairness, ensuring that students continue to thrive in an environment that balances discipline with free expression.
The First Lady's response highlights her commitment to fostering a supportive and understanding atmosphere within educational institutions, recognizing that moments of excitement can lead to spontaneous expressions among students.
