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.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
