Gov Sule restates commitment to women’s inclusion in governance
Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has renewed his commitment to providing an inclusive government for women and other stakeholders of the state.
“I want to assure you of my administration s continued commitment to providing an inclusive administration,” Mr Sule said.
He said this was to give them a sense of belonging and improve women’s standard of living.
“This is to enable you and other people to contribute your quota to the development of the state and the society at large,
“My administration will also continue to provide an open-door policy in the interest of peace and for development to thrive,” he said.
Mr Sule gave the assurance on Wednesday while playing host to Frontline Women Alliance for Development, led by its president, Hannatu Daniel, in Lafia.
The governor appreciated the women for the visit and for supporting his administration’s success.
Mr Sule, however, urged the women to continue ensuring their children’s proper upbringing for society’s betterment.
He also advised them to live peacefully and tolerate one another, irrespective of their affiliations.
Earlier, the association’s president said that the visit was to reassure Sule of their support.
