The Minister said, “We are confident of your rights and a lot is happening; we will not water down on our achievements.”
She further committed that “through collective action and purposeful leadership, more opportunities can be created for the next generation of Nigerian women to thrive and contribute meaningfully to national development”.
Speaking , Miss World Nigeria 2026, Tamunosoye Karibi-George, thanked the Minister for the audience and appealed for more opportunities for collaborations and for youths in the country.
“We are more than the society’s perception of who we are. We are capable of so much more when given the opportunity, especially young women and young kids. We all say that the children are the future of tomorrow, and if we don’t give the future a chance, we don’t have a future,” she said.
