First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians to reduce food waste and adopt sustainable practices to protect the environment.
Tinubu made the call on Sunday in her message marking the 2026 World Cleanup Day, themed, “From Clean Plates to Clean Cities.”
She said the focus on food waste was especially important amid the challenges confronting food production and supply.
“This year’s focus on food waste is particularly important at a time when climate change, conflicts, and other global challenges continue to disrupt food production and supply,” she said.
The First Lady urged Nigerians to take greater responsibility for how they buy, prepare, consume and preserve food.
“I encourage households, businesses, and communities to reduce food waste, dispose of refuse properly, and adopt more sustainable practices that protect our environment,” she added.
Tinubu stressed that collective action was needed to create cleaner and healthier communities.
“Through our collective efforts, we can build cleaner, healthier communities for present and future generations,” she said.
