APC National Woman Leader Holds Sensitisation Programme in North-East
The APC National Woman Leader has convened a major North-East Sensitisation Programme in Maiduguri to push for the passage of the Reserved Seats for Women Bill currently before the National Assembly.
The event, themed “North-East Women Rising: Advocating for Our Constitutional Space in Leadership,” brought together APC women leaders, political stakeholders, and party stalwarts from across the six states in the region.
The gathering focused on expanding women’s representation in governance, advancing constitutional reforms, and educating women about their political rights. It also aimed to empower women with the knowledge and confidence needed to actively participate in leadership at all levels.
Speaking at the sensitisation programme, the APC National Woman Leader emphasised that increasing women’s participation in governance is not only a matter of fairness but a strategic imperative for national development. She urged women across the North-East to unite in supporting the Reserved Seats Bill and to remain engaged in civic and political processes.
Participants reaffirmed their commitment to championing the cause of women’s inclusion and called on lawmakers to pass the bill, noting that women deserve guaranteed constitutional space in political leadership.
The sensitisation programme ended with renewed determination among APC women in the region to mobilise, educate, and inspire more women to take up leadership roles and strengthen democratic participation.
