Today, Friday, March 8, 2019, is International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day is commemorated around the world annually, as a day to celebrate the potential, the accomplishments and the progress of women, and to highlight the utmost importance of creating a world that presents EQUAL OPPORTUNITY for women and men.

The theme for the 2019 Edition is BALANCE FOR BETTER, highlighting the all-important quest for a gender-balanced world.

Here is the spotlight on 31 female appointees spearheading and implementing some of the Buhari Administration’s most important programme and policy efforts.

Everything from cleaning up dysfunctional pensions systems, to upgrading Nigeria’s seaports, to the Social Investment Programme (the largest in Africa and one of the fastest growing in the world), to the pioneering advances in diaspora engagement, to game-changing off-grid energy solutions, and many more – are being initiated and implemented in this Administration by women appointed to public office by President Buhari.

These phenomenal women have contributed immensely to the successes of the administration; without their vision and drive and hard work the, story would be a very different one; a much less successful and inspiring narrative.

In the NEXT LEVEL, President Buhari has assured he will ensure that more women are given opportunities within the Administration.

Below we list thirty-one (31) of the most high-profile female appointees of the Buhari Administration:

So waec is no longer credible because you cannot compete with kids in the SE intellectually. Go and sleep pls this is not APC appointments that you scramble for, this is waec exam, it knows no tribe nor religion, what you deserve is what you get, no time.
