The President of the Senate, Alhaji Ahmad Lawan has come out to celebrate Nigerian women on International Women’s Day.

He recently revealed this in a statement by his Special Adviser (Media), Mr Ola Awoniyi, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, women deserve more recognition for playing a pivotal role in Nigerian families and in our nation, so Nigeria should not deprive them in any way.

He added that women play indispensable roles in private and public lives, so they deserve full support and respect of society for those roles.

His words, “Women play indispensable roles in private and public lives and deserve full support and respect of society for those roles.”

“Our women also deserve support and encouragement to participate without discrimination or inhibitions in governance and public affairs in general.”

“Our public policies should, therefore, deliberately seek to get the best from them for the peace and progress of our country.”
