The Nigeria Association of women journalists has called for more inclusion of women in governance, corporate boardrooms as well as equality in leadership positions.
The National president Nawoj, Ladi Bala, made this known in a statement to mark this year’s international women’s day with the theme ‘ Women in leadership : Achieving an equal future in the Covid 19 world’.
According to her, the theme focuses on celebrating the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping an equal future for themselves.
The National president pointed out that women deserve to be celebrated as they stand in the frontlines of the covid 19 pandemic as health care workers, caregivers and community organizers.
She describes as unacceptable and retrogressive the recent spate of the abduction of students in schools by criminal elements and appeals to the government at all levels to secure schools by fencing it and deploying security personnel to safeguard the lives of students and people for hitch-free learning.
