The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated women in the state on the 2021 commemoration of the International Women’s Day, saying his administration will continue to give voice to women because doing so is key to achieving sustainable development and inclusive growth.
In a statement commemorating the 2021 International Women’s Day, the governor said “there is no turning back in our determination to giving voice to our women and empowering the girl child”.
According to him, whether in the political decision making process or in the bureaucratic settings, the government is setting a new standard of building a sustainable and brighter future by upholding affirmative action.
“Our agenda to empower Kwara women aligns with the theme of this year’s celebration which is ‘Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a Covid-19 World’. The administration is committed to socioeconomic and political empowerment/inclusion of women because of their critical roles in building a stronger and healthier world where both genders work in harmony for the larger good of our communities. This commitment is glaring in our appointments, programmes, and policies just under the last two years.
He added that as the world commemorates the International Women’s Day, his administration is proud to have given better opportunities to Kwara women and he is certain of the domino effects this will have in preparing our girl child for a future of greater possibilities.
