Nigeria's First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Champions Home Gardening for Food Security

Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu harvested fresh vegetables from the State House garden, showcasing a bounty of spinach, waterleaf and fluted pumpkin. She used the occasion to renew her call for Nigerians to adopt home gardening as part of the #EveryHomeAGarden initiative, emphasizing that small‑scale gardens can improve household food security, lower food costs and provide healthier diets.
