Wife of Niger State Governor, Hajiya Fatima Mohammed Umaru Bago has tasked the women political appointees in the state to carry their fellow women along by supporting them.
She stated this during an interactive session organised by the Niger State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development after a road walk in commemoration of this year’s International women’s Day at the Women Multipurpose Hall in Minna, the State Capital.
The first lady revealed that her husband had pledged to continue to give women more opportunities to be productive in the society.
Similarly, Niger State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Titi Auta said the essence of the interactive session was to give women the opportunity to offer suggestions and advice on how best to address their challenges and problems facing the general society.
The duo described the women living with disabilities as special people that require the needed attention and support to enable them to be productive and contribute their quota to the development of the society.
