When I was the Governor of Kwara State, I ensured women had significant representation: SARAKI
When I was the Governor of Kwara State, I ensured that at least all the Vice-Chairmen of the Local Government Areas in Kwara State were women. I also ensured that women had significant representation in my cabinet and across the various ministries, departments, and agencies. Again, as the President of the 8th Senate, I worked with my colleagues to try to pass the Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill three times to ensure that women had increased participation in governance and access to more economic opportunities. This is why, earlier today, at the meeting with PDP Zonal and State Women Leaders in Abuja, I once again reiterated our party's resolve to the continued inclusion of women in governance and leadership — as we work together to #GrowNigeria.
