President Bola Tinubu has described the Nigerian women as pivot of the nation, emphasising that without a scintilla of doubt, Nigerian women are elemental to the development, growth, and greatness of the country.
The President made the statement on the occasion of this year’s International Women’s Day which is celebrated annually on March 8.
The President affirms that in every discipline and field of human endeavour, the standout achievements of Nigerian women have become a testament to the resilience, strength, courage, and ingenuity of all women across the world, as well as a mark of their exceptional quality as emissaries of hope and possibilities.
President Tinubu notes that the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress”, fits well within his administration’s policy initiatives on educating and empowering women, not only through inclusion in governance, but also by ensuring that they remain relevant and unimpeachable voices in the development process across all sectors of the economy.
The President states that his administration is focused on providing investments in educating the girl-child, while fostering inclusive programmes and initiatives that bolster their active roles in the areas of knowledge, science, technology, research and innovation into the future.
