Meanwhile, 60 participants under the Every Home a Garden initiative received ₦100,000 to support backyard farming activities. Beneficiaries, she said, were selected through an online registration process covering the three senatorial districts of the state.


Dr. Sanwo-Olu also announced the enrollment of over 120 students into the second phase of the Young Farmers Club (YFC 2.0), with five students each drawn from both junior and senior secondary schools across the six educational districts of the state. These students have been provided with complete farming kits, including seeds of tomatoes, peppers, and assorted vegetables.


The First Lady of Lagos State concluded her remarks by appreciating the significant efforts of the First Lady of Nigeria and Chairman, Renewed Hope Initiative, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu (CON) through the RHI-ASP in encouraging home farming across numerous homes in the Nation which will ultimately bring much-needed relief to many Nigerians, promoting agricultural development and food security.
