Tinubu’s wife leads women’s campaign on food security
Oluremi Tinubu, wife of Nigeria’s First Lady, has urged women to take a leading role in promoting food security across the country.
She delivered this message at the State House Residence while unveiling her vegetable garden, which aims to inspire first-time women farmers to participate in the ongoing Every Home A Garden Competition.
In her remarks, she emphasized the importance of individual efforts in addressing food scarcity, citing her small garden’s potential to provide ample healthy vegetables for her household and staff.
Senator Tinubu underscored the value of communal effort in achieving food sufficiency, encouraging women nationwide to join the competition by cultivating gardens that can sustain their families and communities.
She showcased her garden to notable guests including Chioma Uzodinma, wife of the Imo State governor, and Aisha Matawale, spouse of the Minister of State for Defence.
The Every Home A Garden Competition, targeting first-time women farmers, requires participants to submit a 30-second video to their respective State Government offices by September 25, 2024, with a chance to win N25 million.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
