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.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
