“This is the time to invest in women more than ever. Accelerating progress in any sphere requires that women have to be more involved”. She said
“Today, on International Women’s Day, I celebrate every woman – Daughters, Sisters, Aunts, Mothers, Grandmothers and also Great grand Mothers, for your resilience, passion, and courage that brought us thus far.
“That is why I see investing in women, not as charity, but as a strategy to build the future of our dear nation, Nigeria.
