Emphasizing the proverb, “No food for a lazy man,” Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, has urged young Nigerian to be industrious. She said these things on Thursday when visiting the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Mrs. Tinubu noted that although President Bola Tinubu, under the direction of her husband, is working nonstop to provide sustainable solutions to the present challenges of our country, people also have to aim to help themselves.
She asked Nigerians to be patient with the government’s efforts and reminded them that they are dedicated to make sure they are not let down.
Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.
“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.
“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.
“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.
“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.
“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”
The Ooni of Ife responded by welcoming the First Lady to the ancient city and complimenting the government for improving Nigeria.
The trip also included the opening of the 2.7-kilometer Oluremi Tinubu Way and Pavilion at Obafemi Awolowo University, a project commissioned in her honor by the king.
