Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Women and Youth Council of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has criticised the appointment of two male leaders for the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry.<\/p>\n

Members of the concerned group gathered at the National Assembly in Abuja on Tuesday, carrying placards with various inscriptions, such as \u201cMen Are Not Compassionate Enough To Run the Humanitarian Ministry,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe Say No To Women Discrimination,\u201d and \u201cHumanitarian Ministry is Not For Political Compensation,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n

Led by its convener, Jennifer Raymond, the group argued that the male appointments do not adhere to the principle of federal character and called on President Bola Tinubu to reconsider the appointments for the sake of inclusivity and fairness.<\/p>\n

The women referred to the recent appointments of Nentawe Yilwatda as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction and Chief Ayuba Gufwan as Executive Secretary of the National Commission for People Living with Disabilities, both of whom are from Plateau State.<\/p>\n

According to the group, nominating two male candidates from the same state violates the constitutional principle of federal character, which aims to ensure equitable representation across Nigeria\u2019s diverse regions.<\/p>\n

The women emphasised that the nomination process must reflect Nigeria\u2019s rich demographic diversity, stressing the importance of gender balance and geographic representation, particularly in ministries that address critical humanitarian issues and poverty alleviation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe selection of male candidates from the same state undermines the constitutional principle of federal character, which is intended to ensure equitable representation across Nigeria\u2019s diverse regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cA particularly pressing concern within this context is gender representation. The current nominees for leadership positions in the ministry are male, raising significant questions about inclusivity and the ability to address the unique needs of all communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanitarian affairs inherently involve diverse groups, including women and children, who are often disproportionately affected by crises. Their perspectives, experiences, and needs must be included in decision-making processes to ensure effective and equitable humanitarian responses.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch has consistently shown that organisations with gender-diverse leadership tend to perform better in crisis situations. Women often bring different viewpoints and approaches to problem-solving, leading to more innovative and effective solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe call for diverse representation, particularly regarding gender, in the Humanitarian Ministry\u2019s leadership is not merely a progressive ideal; it is a pragmatic strategy for enhancing the Ministry\u2019s effectiveness in tackling Nigeria\u2019s pressing humanitarian challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy reflecting the country\u2019s diversity, including gender diversity, the leadership can ensure that humanitarian responses are contextually relevant, culturally appropriate, and ultimately more impactful.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Nigeria continues to navigate complex humanitarian issues, embracing diversity within leadership will be crucial for fostering resilience and improving the well-being of all its citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently reflect federal character in his appointments by selecting a competent woman with proven track record of humanitarian initiatives to occupy a key position in the Humanitarian Ministry,\u201d Jennifer Raymond stated.<\/p>\n
