President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has felicitated with Nigerian women as they celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day.
In a statement by the special adviser to the President of the Senate on media and publicity Ola Awoniyi Senator Lawan described the theme of this year’s celebration, “Choose to Challenge”, as apt in reminding society of the pivotal roles women play in the family and nation-building and the need to pay attention to the challenges confronting them.
He noted that Nigerian women also deserve support and encouragement to participate without discrimination or inhibitions in governance and public affairs in general.
The Senate President said the National Assembly will always promote and defend the rights and interests of the Nigerian women and fight anything that stands against their well-being and aspirations.
