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 news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
