The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Nigerians to reduce food waste and adopt sustainable practices to safeguard the environment. She made this appeal in a message to mark the 2026 World Cleanup Day, celebrated on Sunday with the theme “From Clean Plates to Clean Cities.” Tinubu emphasized that focusing on food waste is crucial given the ongoing disruptions to food production and supply due to climate change, conflicts, and other global issues.
"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 stated. She urged individuals, households, businesses, and communities to be more responsible in their food purchasing, preparation, consumption, and preservation.
The First Lady urged proper disposal of refuse and the adoption of more sustainable practices to protect the environment. Tinubu stressed the need for collective efforts to create cleaner and healthier communities for both present and future generations. "Through our collective efforts, we can build cleaner, healthier communities for present and future generations," she concluded.
