Tinubu’s Wife Begs Market Women Not To Increase Food Prices

Wife of the president, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, has appealed to market women not to increase the prices of food items.

She made the appeal in Ebonyi State while addressing women at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium, Abakaliki, for their 2024 Women’s Day Celebration, according to a statement made available in Abuja yesterday.

The first lady’s media aide, Busola Kukoyi, who disclosed this in a statement, said; “With the Yuletide season fast approaching, the first lady appealed to market women to refrain from unfair hikes in prices of food items during the festive season.”

The president’s wife inaugurated a 3.1-kilometer runway at the Wilberforce Chuba Okadigbo International Airport in the Onueke area of the state.

She said commercial activities at the airport would increase socio-economic development in the state.

Mrs Tinubu later interacted with Ebonyi State traditional rulers at the Presidential Lodge, Abakaliki where she extolled the peaceful nature of the state, describing it as a beacon of hope for the country.

“Nigeria has everything it takes for us to be a great nation. We have to continue to bless this land and I appeal to you our traditional rulers to lead in that regard,” she was quoted as saying.
