Women Are Vital Tool For Progress In Every Govt― Bisi Fayemi

Women Are Vital Tool For Progress In Every Govt― Bisi Fayemi

Wife of the Ekiti State Governor, Mrs Bisi Fayemi, has reiterated the need for women to be properly integrated by the government at all levels in order to drive its policies and programmes.

She noted that the government would find it difficult to achieve its objectives for the people if women are not being carried along.

Fayemi’s wife stated this while speaking at a one-day Accountability Forum on the implementation of Ekiti Women Policy Agenda organised by the New Initiative for Social Development (NISD). The event was supported by the National Democratic Institute (NDI), USAID and UKAid.

Acting Director of NISD, Mr Olumide Martins, and the convener of the forum and Special Assistant to the governor on Civil Societies, Mr Biodun Oyeleye, said the roles of women in the actualising of the Sustainable Development Goals could not be overemphasised hence the need for the programme.

Oyeleye said women demanded the development of six thematic areas from Fayemi upon assumption of office in 2018.
