First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Nigerians to become more involved in agricultural production to improve the country’s economic situation.
Oluremi gave the advice on Wednesday when she received the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed, in her office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
She noted that the various interventions of 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 administration.
The First Lady said agriculture still held the key to bettering the lot of citizens.
While admonishing Nigerians to be more accountable regarding resources, Oluremi said Tinubu had made the right decisions to build a more respected Nigeria in the long run.
She said, “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.”
Senator Oluremi Tinubu said there is a need to inspire the youth to think appropriately about the nation.
“We have to inspire them to think Nigeria first before any State”.
On the Issue of 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.”
In her remarks earlier, the Deputy Secretary General of the UN, Amina Mohammed, explained that the Organisation is looking forward to the country committing more funds to Youth, Women and Girls.
