Governments must put in place robust mechanisms to ensure compliance with gender quotas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis includes legal frameworks and monitoring systems that hold political parties accountable. Constitutional amendments may also be necessary to enshrine gender equity in political representation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch amendments would provide a solid legal foundation for women\u2019s adequate representation, ensuring that gender equity is not just a policy preference but a constitutional mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe journey towards achieving 30 per cent women\u2019s representation in our parliament is achievable once we take the bold step to kick start the journey to an enduring democracy of quality representation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI commend the Federal House of Representatives for passing the bill seeking to reserve 74 seats for women in the National Assembly in a bid to encourage more female participation in politics and governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that the leadership in the Senate is gender-friendly and urge the 10th National Assembly to give women the necessary support. Nigerian women are smart and intelligent and can work alongside our male counterparts without friction for the good and development of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
