Remi Tinubu To Announce ‘Every Home A Garden’ Winner December 4

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is set to unveil the winner of the Every Home A Garden competition.

According to a statement by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, she announced this after a final selection review was held in her office by members of the Renewed Hope Initiative Governing Board, assisted by friends of RHI.

“The objective of this competition has been achieved because people can now feed themselves and their neighbours. When we started this journey almost a year ago, nobody would have believed us that it was possible.

“However, as we can see, even from the State House garden, we know what it could mean for people to grow some food from home.

“This is to ensure food sufficiency. Even yesterday, I was still harvesting; the tea I took this morning is so medicinal I am really happy; this would not have been possible if it had not been for God and all the people that God has equipped this office with to do the work”.

“Everybody is dedicated; we thank God for our husbands too; they are all friends of RHI, and we are satisfied with the winner, which will be announced officially by Dec. 5th”.

To arrive at the winner, a final presentation of the three finalists in the competition was watched and graded by the First Lady and the panel of assessors.

She said the initiative has encouraged women to plant gardens within their homes for food sufficiency.

The Wife of Vice President Hajiya Nana Shettima, who is also the Vice Chairman of RHI and a selection team member, commended the first lady for her passion.

As scheduled, the winner will be unveiled on December 4 this year and will receive a prize of 20 million Naira.

The competition was initiated last year by Nigeria’s First Lady to drive food production in the country by promoting home and smart gardening among women
