A group under the auspices of Women in Politics has called for more women participation and visibility in all elective and appointment positions as the 2023 general elections draws closer.
The emergence of Liz Truss as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK) last Tuesday is fuelling fresh concerns in women’s circle in Nigeria over their low representation in the political space.
The court ordered the Nigerian government to implement the National Gender Policy (NGP) which provides for the allocation of 35 per cent of all appointments to women.
As Nigerians prepare for the 2023 general elections, clamour for more women representation in elective positions is increasing, even as women activists bemoaned the refusal of the National Assembly to include five key gender bills in the Electoral Act of 2022.
