The governor of Niger, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has reaffirmed the commitment of his administration to the inclusion of women in governance, stating that all the positions of vice president in the next elections of the local government will be occupied by women.
Governor Bago, who has constantly defended the inclusion of gender, declared that women have been relegated in the background for too long, despite their immense contributions to society.
He stressed that women are fundamental for the growth and development of the country, and when they are given the opportunity, they have the ability to promote significant progress and transformation.
The governor also pointed out that women's leadership potential is undeniable and, as such, they should be given a prominent role in the construction of the nation.
According to him, empowering women at the level of the local government is not only a matter of equity, but a strategic movement to promote sustainable development throughout the State and the country in general.
“It's not just about fulfilling a quota; It's about recognizing the strength, resistance and intelligence of our women, ”said Governor Bago. “Women have capacity and give them a chance. When included in governance, they provide balance, innovation and a unique perspective that is crucial for development. “
Governor Bago reaffirmed that his administration remains committed to breaking barriers for women in leadership and ensuring that they occupy their legitimate place in decision -making processes, especially when it affects them.
He asked the interested parties of the All Progressive Congress throughout the state that supports this initiative, since it aligns with the best practices for inclusive governance and sustainable development.
