Sokoto Bishop Kukah Backs 30% of Political Appointments for Women

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Hassan Kukah has thrown his weight behind the agitation for 30 per cent political appointment for women.

He, however, gave a proviso that only women of competence and not those related to people already in power, should be appointed. Kukah also called on parents to collaborate with the government to strengthen education and stop encouraging short–cut to success in education.
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto stated this as a keynote speaker in Benin City, at an event tagged, “Parents Summit”, organised by the state government as part of activities to mark the 2023 Education Week, where he lauded the efforts of Governor Godwin Obaseki on repositioning the education sector in the state at the weekend.
