Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect, has promised that women will be fairly represented in his administration.
At the public launch of Mrs Zainab Marwa’s book “101 Nigerian Women of Impact” on Tuesday in Abuja, Tinubu made this statement.
Tinubu who was represented by Dr Betta Edu, the National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said Nigerian women must be honoured because they sacrificed for the country’s growth, peace, and unity.
He said: “All I can say is Nigerian women can go home smiling because you will have one of the best times in representation in government. Nigerian women will be appreciated.”
“They have done well and are still doing well. We are proud of every effort that has been put on the table.
“The message you have sent by writing the book to celebrate 101 women amongst over 100 million is simple: You can aspire to do more.
“The second message is that by working together we can change the picture of Nigeria.”
“Nigeria is at a turning point and the missing chip in that puzzle that would fix this country and give us the speed we need are the women folk. This is your call to action and development,” Tinubu added.
