Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the president’s wife, said yesterday that Nigerian women should not be relegated to the background, but rather given more leadership positions to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s growth and development.
She made the remarks in Abuja at the book launch of Mrs. Salamatu Yahaya, the wife of the Chief of Army Staff, titled “Strengthening the NAOWA Narrative.”
Senator Nora Daduut, who represented the president’s wife, stated, “Women in leadership positions should be reviewed upwards, and the book will go a long way in enriching the lives of not only NAOWA members but Nigerian women.”
Earlier in her remarks, the author and president of the Nigerian Army Officers Wives Association stated that the book was inspired by a desire to increase women’s participation in leadership.
Strengthening the NAOWA narratives and all Nigerians women is important especially in leadership positions because Nigerian women have vital contributions to make to the growth and development of the country.
The book will serve as a foundation to build on in the giants strides of wives of Nigerian Army Officers and Nigerian women who continue to break barriers in their places of endeavour, she said.
