Women and Youths in Nasarawa State have commended President Bola Tinubu for nominating a female indigene of the state, Iman Ibrahim for a Minister.

Speaking at a rally held in Lafia, by the women and youth stakeholders, the Director General of the state’s Human Capital Development Agency, Habiba Balarabe-Suleiman, who spoke for the groups, said the appointment of the ministerial nominee had brought great joy to many residents of the state.

Balarabe-Suleiman said; “We are here today to express our gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for appointing one of us, Iman Ibrahim as Minister. Since we got the news of her appointment, we have been very happy because women and youths are hardly appointed as Minister but the President has given us a sense of belonging by appointing her to serve as a member of the federal executive council.

“Fortunately for us, the good people of Nasarawa State, we know that we can trust her because she is someone who has the passion to contribute meaningfully to the growth of the society.”

“We are very sure that she will do exceedingly well as Minister. So, we want to express our gratitude to the President and Governor Abdullahi Sule for the opportunity given to women to be involved in governance,” she noted

Also speaking, the Women Leader of the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Blessing Ebuga, thanked the President for being gender friendly, while assuring him that “the women in the state will continue to support his administration to succeed.”

Governor Sule while receiving the women and youth groups at his office in Lafia, promised to give them more opportunities both at the state and federal levels.

Sule, who spoke through the Permanent Secretary, Government House, Jibrin Giza, further urged them to continue to be good ambassadors of the state whenever they are given opportunities to serve in public offices.

Voice of Nigeria reports that the Nasarawa State Head of Service, Abigail Waya; the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sule on Youth Development, Shuaibu Sani, among others were present at the rally.
