-Tasks Government at all levels to ensure gender equality

-Involvement of women in leadership could lead to radical transformations-Ohanaeze Ndigbo

The participation of women in governance and politics is of strategic importance not only for women empowerment but because it has wider benefits and impacts this was disclosed by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom during an event in honour of Prof Uche Azikiwe and Prof. Joy Ezeilo at Kobb Event Centre Enugu.

The President General of Igbo apex socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo has advocated for inclusiveness of women in the nation’s governance



He further maintained that the more involvement of women in leadership of the country could lead to radical transformations, greater morality and development of the society.

He regretted in Nigeria, notwithstanding the greater number of women over men, public offices are still dominated by men. “Women find it difficult to mobilize themselves because most of them are economically dependent on men and find it difficult to pursue their convictions when such convictions go against the wishes of their male partners. “This makes it very crucial for massive skill development programmes to be promoted to give rural women in Nigeria a unique corridor for economic growth and resultant independence. Nigerian women have wasted resources for greater economic growth, less corrupt society and better public service.”
