The National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his re-election as the country’s President.
Mrs Gloria Shoda, President of the council, in a statement, said Buhari’s victory was a reflection of the people’s choice.
She called on the president to use his second term to ensure that more women were given opportunity to serve in government.
According to her, women form a greater percentage of the Nigerian population, saying that giving them opportunity to serve will give them a sense of belonging and responsibility on how to move the nation forward
”We know, as home builders and go getters, that putting more women in strategic positions will move the country to the desired next level,” she said.
Shoda also called on the president to invest more in the education sector to reduce the burden of educating the children on parents.
