 No food for lazy man, Remi Tinubu tells youths


First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, on Thursday, charged Nigerian youths to be hardworking, saying “There is no food for the lazy man.”


She spoke at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.


The first lady was in Ife to inaugurate hostel and a 2.7 kilometer road donated to Ọbafẹmi Awolọwọ University, (OAU), Ile Ife, by the Ooni of Ife and named after her.


In her remarks at the palace, 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 presidency and we are contented with what we have.”


Tinubu’s Wife also urged Nigerians to exercise patience with Tinubu’s administration and assured hope for a better future.


According to her, the current administration is committed to providing sustainable development for Nigerians, saying the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed.


“This administration just spent less than 18 months, so, it is not the cause of the economic challenges on ground.


“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”
