“I Once Cleaned Lagos Streets Myself” — Remi Tinubu Shares Inspiring Story on Environmental Responsibility

The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared a personal story about her hands-on approach to environmental cleanliness during her time as the First Lady of Lagos State.

In a video posted by Arise TV on its official YouTube channel, Senator Tinubu revealed that while her husband, Bola Tinubu, served as governor, she took an active role in keeping Lagos clean.

“As a biologist, I have always loved to go green. During the time my husband was governor of Lagos State, I used to go clean roads. I did a lot. I was young then, so I used a lot of energy,” she said proudly.

She emphasized that true environmental responsibility goes beyond tree planting to ensuring cleanliness and sustainable practices in everyday life. According to her, leadership is not just about making policies but also about personally setting an example for the people.

Senator Tinubu further urged First Ladies in other states across Nigeria to play active roles in keeping their states clean, stressing that a cleaner environment would foster healthier living for citizens.

Her testimony has sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians praising her humility and describing her as a role model for public servants. Citizens also commended her call for leaders to lead by example rather than by words alone.
