First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu advocates constitutional change for gender equity in Nigerian politics

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on political leaders across Nigeria to take concrete steps towards achieving gender equity in politics, emphasizing the need for legislative support.

Speaking at the spotlight initiative of the ECOWAS Female Parliamentarians Association at the alternate Chamber of the Senate, National Assembly, Abuja on Monday, Tinubu applauded the House of Representatives for advancing a bill to reserve 70 out of 360 legislative seats for women.

“There is a critical need to address and overcome the persistent gender disparities in our political systems. To fully achieve this, we must be committed to action, not just words,” Tinubu stated.
