The national launch, held at the State House in Abuja, highlighted the First Lady’s vision to cultivate a generation of environmentally conscious citizens capable of promoting sustainability in schools, communities, and tertiary institutions.
During her speech, Senator Tinubu commended young climate advocates, singling out Senior Secondary School 3 student Esther Abraham of Government Senior Secondary School, Mabushi, for her compelling poem on environmental protection. “From Esther, I see the passion and the love. When she recited, I saw a woman in love with the environment. It was like a message of love,” the First Lady said, expressing hope to work with the youth in advancing the initiative.
Selected students were presented with membership kits, including cards, handbooks, and practical tools to support their roles in the clubs. “To the glory of God and for the benefit of humanity, we are giving you your working tools,” she stated.
Reflecting on her personal background, Mrs. Tinubu said her studies in educational biology and experience teaching environmental sanitation fueled her commitment to nature. “My love for plants inspired me in my studies. Young people are the right ambassadors to drive this programme we launch today,” she added.
The First Lady outlined the objectives of the clubs, which include promoting environmental preservation, biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource management, and fostering eco-friendly mindsets among young Nigerians. The initiative also encourages innovation, alternative livelihoods, and green entrepreneurship.
Her rallying motto, “Go Green Today for a Greener Tomorrow,” resonated throughout the event. For secondary school clubs, responsibilities include maintaining clean school environments, recycling, tree planting, discouraging plastic use, and raising climate awareness. University-based societies will lead shoreline clean-ups, reforestation efforts, and campus-wide advocacy for sustainable practices.
Mrs. Tinubu emphasized that the initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes environmental sustainability, youth empowerment, and inclusive growth. She also commended the Minister of Environment, Balarabe Lawal, and his team, while urging governors’ wives to support environmental commissioners in their respective states.

Osun 2026: APC Candidate Oyebamiji Pledges Inclusive Governance For Non-Indigenes, Interest Groups.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has pledged to ensure inclusive governance by integrating non-indigenes and various interest groups if elected in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He said his administration would operate a structured system that promotes participation and representation of all segments of society in governance.
The pledge was conveyed by a former lawmaker and ex-Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, after he represented the candidate at an engagement with members of the Arewa community in Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area.
Oyintiloye said the plan is aimed at strengthening the link between government and grassroots communities, ensuring public policies reflect citizens’ real needs.
He added that all groups would be actively involved in both policy formulation and implementation to drive development in the state.
Oyebamiji also promised continued engagement with farmers, traders, artisans, and non-indigene communities as key stakeholders in governance.
Responding, leaders of the Arewa community commended past inclusion efforts and pledged support for the APC candidate ahead of the election.
Barely a year after its inauguration in Akwa Ibom State, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been plunged into a deep factional crisis.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Multiple factions are now locked in a struggle for control of the party, leaving members uncertain about the legitimate leadership structure.
One faction is led by John Akpanudodehe, a former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while another is headed by the embattled state chairman, Dick Duke.
Although the leader of a third faction could not be immediately confirmed, findings indicate that another group also exists within the party.
Sources further suggest that the Akpanudodehe-led faction is seeking to remove the current chairman through a recently held congress that has sparked controversy.
In response, Dick Duke convened a stakeholders’ meeting over the weekend, where he rejected the legitimacy of the said congress.
He said the party had formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to distance itself from the exercise, citing a subsisting court order.
According to him, his tenure as state chairman is still valid until May, and any congress conducted before then would be unlawful.
Duke added that the party would only proceed with proper congresses after the expiration of his tenure and the resolution of legal issues, in line with due process.
