10th National Assembly: Women root for female presiding officer
Ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, the Women in Politics Forum, WIPF, has said a female should be made a presiding officer in the House of Representatives.
The National President of WIPF, Ebere Ifendu, who spoke at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, said that doing so would not only accord with the country’s National Gender Policy, but also boost to the participation of Nigerian women in democratic governance.
At the briefing, leaders from women’s rights and civil society organisations collectively spoke with one voice to ask that Nigerian women be efficiently represented in the leadership of the next legislative arm of government.
The 10th Assembly would be inaugurated in June as soon as the next president issues a proclamation letter to that effect.
