First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians to cultivate the habit of exploring agricultural production.

According to her, agriculture holds the key to bettering the lives of citizens as it creates jobs for the unemployed.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu said this when she received the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed in her office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

The First Lady stated that the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI, especially in the areas of Agriculture, Empowerment, Education, Health and Social Welfare are to complement the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.

“The President has made the right decisions. These decisions will help us build a Nigeria that is more respected. We should be more accountable as a people as regards our resources”.

Adding that there is a need to inspire the youth to think appropriately with regards to the nation.

“We have to inspire them to think of Nigeria first before any State”.

“Youth between 15 years to 25 years will design the fabric depicting Nigeria and not just their State or tribe. The prize money is huge”.

Speaking on the IDPs, Senator Oluremi Tinubu said the RHI has commenced the monthly Food Outreach Program to the IDPs and Persons with Disabilities.

“I am not being deterred. I will continue to do all I can for the people”.

The Deputy Secretary General of the UN Amina Mohammed, on her part said the Organisation is looking forward to the country committing more funds to Youth, Women and Girls.
