The speaker said that the participation of women in politics has remained relatively low since 2015, adding that had the gender bills rejected by the 9th assembly scaled through, the situation would have been different . “This initiative aims to provide immediate representation for women in legislative bodies while we work towards long-term solutions.
A member of Ekiti House of Assembly, Abimbola Solanke, said the inclusion of women in governance was not merely a matter of gender equality but a critical component of the nation’s progress. “Thus, their abysmally low representation in governance constitutes unequivocal evidence of the need for far-reaching constitutional reform towards building a nation where there are equal opportunities and comparable development outcomes for all.”
