The federal government says it is working to remove barriers preventing women from owning or accessing lands in the country.
Ibrahim Idris, permanent secretary of the federal ministry of environment, said though women hold a critical stake in lands, they often do not control them.
“In all parts of the world, women face significant barriers in securing land rights, limiting their ability to thrive and prosper. “Land degradation affects everyone through food insecurity, higher food prices, climate change, environmental hazards and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services”, he said.
