She regretted the challenges hindering women in politics but was hopeful for a better future for the female gender.<\/p>\n

The ex-lawmaker maintained that women have the cognitive experience and adequate managerial skills to handle any elective positions, urging the electorate to give the female gender a chance, as that is the only way to ascertain their leadership qualities.<\/p>\n

While offering solutions to these challenges, Senator Nwaogu said that organizing conferences, seminars, and encouraging active involvement of women in politics, despite the outcome of the 2023 election results, remains key.<\/p>\n

Her words: \u201cMany factors are hindering women\u2019s involvement in politics, but there is room for improvement, and I\u2019m sure that the future looks good for the female gender.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure that in the nearest future, women will take up their most desired positions in politics. I\u2019m encouraging everyone to give women a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen have the cognitive experience and adequate managerial skills to lead.\u201d<\/p>\n
