In the spirit of International Women’s Day, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged his administration’s commitment to providing equitable opportunities in every sector.
This was contained in a statement by the President on Saturday.
Celebrating the resilience, brilliance, and indispensable contributions of Nigerian women, he described Nigerian women as the bedrock of the nation.
However, he acknowledged that 30 years after the Beijing Declaration, many women are still confronted with challenges that limit their potential.
“I celebrate the resilience, brilliance, and indispensable contributions of Nigerian women. You are the bedrock of our nation, driving progress from our homes to our farms, boardrooms, and communities.
“Yet, 30 years after the Beijing Declaration, too many still face barriers that limit their potential.
“Our administration is committed in our Renewed Hope pledge to dismantle obstacles, expand access to finance, and ensure equitable opportunities in governance, agriculture, and every sector.
“To our mothers, daughters, sisters—your strength fuels Nigeria’s future. Together, we rise!
“Happy International Women’s Day.”
The International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8, is a global day recognizing the achievements and contributions of women in various fields while advocating for gender equality.
