Gardening Can Aid Food Security Across Nigeria – Oluremi Tinubu

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has come out to say that agriculture plays a key role in achieving food security across Nigeria.

She recently had her say while speaking to the press in Asaba, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, gardening is actually a time-honoured tradition that sustained our forefathers many years and if channelled correctly, it can also benefit today’s generation.

Remi added that growing the food we eat goes a long way towards aiding healthier eating among Nigerians, while enhancing our daily diet.

Her words, “The beauty of it is that it’s not limited by gender or age. Growing your food helps promote healthier eating, improves your diet, and provides fresh, nutritious produce.

You will agree with me that it is possible for us to grow our own food. The earth is blessed for our sake when you plant, it germinates and yields a great harvest.

The essence of this initiative is to bring us back on track and increase food production across the nation. This is about feeding your family and sharing with your neighbours.

I hope this gesture encourages you. I urge you to give your best as you return to your farms daily.

I have my own garden behind my house, and soon I will begin harvesting corn, vegetables, and other crops. On a lighter note, I am happy to share with you.

For those who haven’t started, please give it a thought. Let’s join hands to grow more food and move from scarcity to abundance.”

WOW.
