First Lady Calls for Preservation of the Environment.

Nigerians have been asked by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu to grow and care for flowers as a way to become environmental conservation ambassadors and champions for the preservation of the planet’s unique biodiversity.

Speaking at the Abuja Garden Show’s second edition, the first lady remarked that gardens serve as a poignant reminder of the close relationship that exists between humans and the natural world. These relationships convey tales of development, resiliency, and the fragility of life.

The purpose of the exhibition, which was put on by Mrs. Ajoke Murtala Mohammed, the owner of the Sarius Palmetum and Botanic Gardens in Abuja and the wife of the former president of state, is to encourage people to appreciate gardening and the environment.

Speaking on behalf of the National Center for Women Development (NCWD) director-general, Hajia Asabe Bashir, Senator Tinubu emphasized that gardening continues to be a potent force for good, encouraging community cohesion, sustainable practices, and well-being promotion.

Gardening, according to her, is a pledge to a healthier and more environmentally friendly future and a statement of optimism.

This occasion is evidence of the value of environmental care, and as we take in the breathtaking variety of plants all around us, let us be reminded of our duty to preserve and improve our surroundings and, by extension, Mother Earth. Every flower and every plant add to the delicate balance of our ecology, and it is our responsibility to guarantee their survival for next generations.

May the relationships made here today motivate us to become champions for environmental conservation and stewards of mother earth’s abundant biodiversity. “May this garden show today not only be a showcase of horticultural excellence, but also a platform for dialogue and collaboration towards a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with nature,” she prayed.

Additionally, Dolapo Osinbajo’s wife emphasized the love and beauty that plants offer to our environments, including as homes, offices, and trees, and she advised Nigerians to use flowers as examples of how to express their individuality.
