Lawan rues National Assembly’s failure to pass gender bills

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, on Friday expressed unhappiness over the failure of the 9th National Assembly to pass the gender bills.

Lawan, who spoke with journalists during a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said inadequate funds affected the performance of the National Assembly under his watch.

The parliament had in March 2022 rejected five gender bills which sought to promote women inclusiveness in governance, among other key areas.
