Senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of President Bola Tinubu, is promoting the culture of gardening, particularly among women in the country. In a post on her X.com handle, she called on all Nigerian women to participate in #EveryHomeAGarden competition, embracing farming and food production as a vital aspect of their daily lives. Tinubu said #EveryHomeAGarden competition is aimed at promoting farming and food production at the family level, encouraging Nigerians to cultivate a culture of gardening and healthy eating from the comfort of their own homes.
The #EveryHomeAGarden competition was launched under the Renewed Hope Initiative of the First Lady of Nigeria aimed at instilling a habit of farming and food production in society, starting from the family unit. The first lady also showcased her garden within the state house, thus educating the womenfolk that gardening does not in anyway affect the beauty of the environment.
She said “Earlier today, I was at my garden to tend to it and water my plants myself. I have planted 7 different vegetables. I would like to encourage all Nigerian women to join the #EveryHomeAGarden competition and get involved in farming and food production.”
