…As First Lady raise awareness on food productivity
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an “epitome of wealth” with no interest to loot the country’s resources, according to the Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande.
Olawande was quoted to have said this at the Joint Union Negotiating Council’s week of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development branch, themed: “The Working People In A Volatile, Uncertain and Complex Economy”, in Abuja.
The Minister urged Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu’s administration, noting that in no distant time there will be positive changes.
According to him, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a pauper, he is an acknowledged epitome of wealth, and so it cannot be said of him that he desires to loot the treasury of Nigeria. He has seen money, and as a result of this, he is not interested in looting the nation’s treasury.
“I urge you to be patient with this administration. In no distant time, the country will take a good shape and the lives of its citizens will be transformed”.
Tinubu, a two-term governor and Senator in the short-lived third Republic, has business interests which spans across tourism, real estate, media, among others.
Recall that during an inter-denominational church service to usher in her husband’s administration, First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu had said her family did not need Nigeria’s wealth to survive.
At the event, which was held at National Christian Centre, Abuja, on the eve of her husband’s swearing-in, the three-time Senator had said: ““Nigeria’s wealth is the commonwealth of all. It belongs to everyone. God has blessed my family. We don’t need the wealth of Nigeria to survive, but to do the right thing. And I promise you on this altar, that with your help, with the help of God, we will set this nation on the right path”.
Meanwhile, the First Lady yesterday inaugurated 240 members into the ‘Young Farmers Club, Nigeria’, in a bid to raise awareness on food productivity. The induction and launch of the Club, is jointly facilitated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the Renewed Hope initiative, (RHI).
The First Lady said it is aimed at catching the youth early so as to inculcate in them the love of agriculture and farming.
