Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has thrown her weight behind a historic bill that reserves seats for women in parliament. The bill, sponsored by Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, aims to increase women’s representation in governance.
Speaking at the Art for Governance Exhibition in Abuja, Senator Tinubu emphasized the importance of women’s leadership in shaping the country’s future. She urged members of the national assembly to expeditiously pass the bill into law, stressing that women constitute a vital part of the nation’s progress yet their representation in governance remains limited.
