The more the society allows its women to contribute their quota towards development, the brighter its future says Princess Gloria Akobundu fsi, National Coordinator/Chief Executive Officer, African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD) Nigeria.
In a statement signed by the Media Assistant to NC/CEO, AUDA-NEPAD Nigeria Abolade Ogundimu on the occasion of 2022 edition of the International Women’s Day, a United Nations special day dedicated to celebrate women which has the theme: `Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.
According to the C.E.O, male and female gender makes up every living society, hence the need to mutually contribute to its development.
“The nation is being confronted by one challenge or the other and the entire people are duty bound to resolve any challenge for a better living.
” While the world is clamouring for gender equality, Nigeria is clamouring for more participation by both men and women for greater development.”
The Agency Boss commended the women who shattered the glass ceilings and proved their mettle, saying they were the role models for upcoming women and for posterity.
” Globally, women are contributing significantly to make the world a better place as can be seen in the countries, organizations and firms they superintend.
” Nigerian women have the potentials to serve and function effectively in leadership and followership capacity like their men folks, now that the nation desires more rapid development and inclusive governance, it behooves on women to aspire and assume position in governance and economic development for global, national and sub-national growth.
“I commend every woman in the country for their resilience and commitment in surmounting global and domestic challenges at this point in time.”
Akobundu commended President Muhammadu Buhari for recognizing and supporting women who had capacity to function in erstwhile male dominated positions.
Akobundu also lauded women at the grassroots for their continuous commitment to development within their locality.
The AUDA-NEPAD Boss urged women to key in into the flagship programmes of the Agency like the AUDA-NEPAD Initiative to Strengthen Smallholder Farmers Capabilities towards Land restoration amid COVID-19 Pandemic, among others.
