Giving their consent after a thorough review of the Bill memoranda during the Senatorial advocacy/town hall meeting held at Sifawa, Bodinga local government, stakeholders agreed that the nation can only get better with genuine inclusion of women in leadership positions across all levels.

Addressing stakeholders at the town hall meeting, the Project Lead on Advancing Women Participation In Politics (AWPP) and FIDA Nigeria Programme Officer, Mr Ifeanyi Eze said, the Reserved Bill will not only encourage women participation but also boost their confidence to showcase their leadership prowesses.

Speaking on, “Unravelling Women Political Participation Vis a Vis Voter Turnout In Nigeria”, Ifeanyi decried the low index, saying until the Reserved Seat Bill is passed changing the narrative will be difficult.

While highliting the prospects of the bill, Mr Ifeanyi said he was overwhelmed by the support of both men and women in Sokoto regarding  AWPP project.

Ifeanyi who register his appreciation to all including traditional and religious leaders for coming bold to declare support for such a bill even in a state considered to be embedded with men dominated mentality, affirmed
“The best thing that has happened to this project, actually, is the willingness and  support by our stakeholders, especially the traditional and religious leaders,  market women and everybody for their determination to ensure that this bill is endorsed for onward  presentation and   passage of the bill”.
