President Muhammadu Buhari has looked into his crystal ball and said that women can no longer be deprived for too long, as they consistently prove that they can hold their own on all fronts, and in all fields.
President Buhari, on the International Women’s Day today, March 8, said that though women are not where they should be yet in different spheres of endeavor, but that “they are coming fast.”
He gave the example of the women in the current administration, who have performed wonderfully as Ministers, Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Executive Directors, Executive Secretaries, and many others.
According to President Buhari, “women are pulling their weights, and making it impossible for anyone to downplay their essence.”
The President said that the celebration, under the hashtag #Break the Bias, and the theme; Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow, is an opportunity to reflect on the vital roles women play in society, homes, governance, the professions, and in all walks of life.
Buhari rejoiced with women and mothers, around whom the tranquility of homes and society revolves, praying to God to grant them peace, joy and satisfaction, as they celebrate today and always.
