I grow vegetables; Nigerian women should get involved in farming — First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has advised Nigerian women to get involved in farming to boost food production in the country.

“Earlier today, I was in my garden to tend to it and water my plants myself. I have planted seven different vegetables,” Mrs Tinubu tweeted, posting a photo of herself in the garden on Saturday.

She added, “I would like to encourage all Nigerian women to join the #EveryHomeAGarden competition and get involved in farming and food production.”

Mrs. Tinubu’s call for women’s involvement in farming to boost production in the country comes amid economic hardship that has seen food prices rise astronomically by over 100 percent since President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.
