'If we want to give the social structure in Nigeria a boost, then women, girls, men, and boys should have a feel of this within the system'
A Nigerian women’s rights organisation under the aegis of 100 Women Lobby Group has called for an increase in the inclusion of women in nation-building, leadership, and elective positions.
“If we want to give the social structure in Nigeria a boost, then women, girls, men, and boys should have a feel of this within the system, so we feel that the MDAs should ensure that the gender policy that has been approved in 2022 should become a document they use within the ministry, and to ensure that women and men are given adequate opportunity to attain their various goals.”
She noted that the group is working with some universities through the Centres for Gender Studies and Youth Advancement to teach postgraduates and undergraduates about gender policy.
