President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed not to joke with matters relating to women even as he directed the women affairs ministers to prepare a special needs of women for his government to do.
The President, who felicitated with all Nigerian women as they join the rest of the world in celebrating International Women’s Day today, reaffirms administration’s commitment to the promotion of women’s rights and the well-being of women in all geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
Buhari said that the theme of this year’s International Women’s day, “Pledge for Parity,” is consistent with the promise by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remove all impediments to the realization of equality by Nigerian women and he assures them that his administration will continue to do all within its powers to fulfil that pledge.
President Buhari directed the ministry of women affairs to move quickly to identify critical issues militating against the well-being and progress of Nigerian women, with a view to rapidly devising adequate plans, programmes and strategies to address them.
He wished all Nigerian women a happy International Women’s Day. [myad]
