First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has reiterated the call on Nigerians to get more involved in agricultural production.

Tinubu was speaking when she received the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed in her office at the State House, Abuja.

The First Lady noted that the various interventions of the Renewed Hope Initiative, especially in the areas of agriculture, empowerment, education, health and social welfare are to complement the efforts of President Bola Tinubu’s administration in the various sectors.

“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,” she said.

Tinubu said there is a need to inspire the youth to think appropriately about the nation.

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

The First Lady explained that this necessitated her to organize competition through the Renewed Hope Initiative, which she tagged ‘The #ONE NIGERIA/Unity Fabric.’

“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,” she explained.

On the Issue of IDPs, Tinubu said her pet project; the Renewed Hope Initiative, has commenced the monthly Food Outreach Program to displaced persons and persons with disabilities.

The Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed, explained that the Organization is looking forward to the country committing more funds to Youth, Women and Girls development.

“We need your voice to understand what the UN is doing with women empowerment, girls, poverty alleviation, education and the rest,” said the UN deputy scribe.

She expressed the readiness of the United Nations to partner with the renewed Hope Initiative, in these areas, knowing that Tinubu is passionate about such areas.
