The Place Of Nigerian Women In President Jonathan's Administration by Delydex: 6:14pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
In history, even among many socially advanced nations of the world, the status of women was always seen as inferior to that of men. Not only were women's role secondary, women were, in several cases, totally excluded from participation in certain activities. This has been the case with most administrations in Nigeria prior to the ascension of President Goodluck Jonathan. He has set significant milestones in empowering women in terms of political appointments and gender friendly policies, hence, portraying him a lover of Nigerian women. His administration did not only opportuned Nigerian women but has empowered them to contribute their quotas and discretions to the development of the nation in various capacities and diverse sectors of the economy. A few of the Women in his Administration are listed below: Mrs Akon Eyakenyi- Minister of Lands and Housing Mrs Laurentia Laraba Mallam- Minister of Environment Hajia Asaba Asmau Ahmed- Minister of State for Agriculture Ms. Olajumoke Akinjide- Minister of State for the FCT Mrs Ngozi Okon-Iweala- Minister of Finance Professor (Mrs) Viola Onwuliri- Minister of State1- Foreign Affairs Mrs Sarah Ochekpe-Minister Of water Resources Mrs Deizani Alison -Madueke- Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs Omobola Johnson - Minister of communication Technology Hajia Zainab Maina- Minister of women Affairs and Social Development Hajia Zainab Ibrahim Kuchi- Minister of State, Niger Delta Affairs Mrs Roli Bode-George-Director General of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) It is however commendable for his true democratic governance giving Nigerian women the chance for their voice to be heard and listened to. |
