Speaking to the 157 participants during the announcement at her office in Lagos House, Ikeja, Dr. Sanwo-Olu revealed that the remaining 152 participants would each receive ₦100,000 in recognition of their dedication and commitment to the competition. 


She encouraged all participants to sustain the vision of the initiative by practising home gardening, ensuring food security, and reducing dependence on buying vegetables from the market. “I want to encourage you to sustain the home gardening passion, incorporate it into your daily lives, and make it a sustainable way of life”. Dr. Sanwo-Olu urged.


The First Lady also reaffirmed her commitment to supporting the initiative and following the vision set by Senator Tinubu.

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, emphasised the growing interest in home agriculture, saying, “The programme has generated a lot of interest. We should revive farming; we need to feed ourselves. I thank the First Lady for taking up this challenge.”


The Chairman of the Office of the First Lady Farmer’s Committee, Mr. Ayo Afuwape, stated that the committee visited 90% of the participants’ gardens, using various criteria such as crop variety, space management, pest control, community impact, and social media promotion to determine the winners.


He described the experience as remarkable, revealing that despite some challenges, all the participants performed exceptionally well. 


The participants expressed their gratitude for the programme. Morenike Iyabo from the Ikeja Division said: “When I heard about this initiative on the radio, I knew I had to be a part of it”.
