Speaking at the High-Level Session on women on September 23, 2025, which commemorated 30 years of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the Minister described women’s empowerment as central to Nigeria’s development goals.
“I had the honour of delivering Nigeria’s Country Statement at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, during the High-Level Session on Women, commemorating 30 years of the Beijing Declaration.
