Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, has showcased a fresh harvest of vegetables from her garden at the Presidential Villa, renewing her call for Nigerians to embrace home gardening as a practical solution to food security and healthy living.
The garden, established about two years ago under her #EveryHomeAGarden initiative, was created to encourage households across the country to grow their own food as part of efforts to boost food security.
Displaying her latest harvest—which included fresh spinach, waterleaf and fluted pumpkin (ugu)—the First Lady described home gardening as an affordable way to maintain a healthy lifestyle while reducing household food costs.
Her latest display comes just weeks after she urged economically disadvantaged Nigerians to explore small-scale, low-capital businesses such as frying akara, roasting corn and selling kuli kuli as a means of earning a living amid the country’s economic challenges.
