President Muhammadu Buhari has extolled Nigerian women on the occasion of the International Women’s Day on March 8, 2022.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President said the celebration, under the hashtag #Break the Bias, and the theme: “Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow,” was an opportunity to reflect on the vital roles women played in society, homes, governance, the professions, and in all walks of life.
President Buhari observed that women were not where they should be yet in different spheres of endeavor, but believed that they could no longer be deprived for too long, as they consistently prove that they could hold their own on all fronts, and in all fields.
He applauded the contributions of women to the current administration as Ministers, Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Executive Directors, Executive Secretaries, and many others, noting that they were pulling their weights, and making it impossible for anyone to downplay their essence.
The President rejoiced with women and mothers, “around whom the tranquility of homes and society revolved, praying God to grant them peace, joy and satisfaction, as they celebrate today and always.”
