The House of Representatives member-elect representing Ovia federal constituency of Edo State, Barr. Omosede Igbinedion, has called on the president-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, to involve more women in his government.
Igbinedion, in her statement while briefing newsmen in Abuja, said: “Equitable participation of women in politics and government is essential to building and sustaining our budding democracy. Nigerian women over the years are strongly linked to positive developments in education, infrastructure and health standards at all levels.”
She commended President Goodluck Jonathan for empowering women and making them key players in his government. And she has in the same vein, implored the incoming president to ensure that a sizable number of women are appointed as ministers in the new government.
