Lawan celebrates with Nigerian women on International Women's Day
Lawan described the theme of this year's celebration,
"Choose to Challenge", as apt
in reminding society of the pivotal roles women play in the family and
nation-building and the need to pay attention to the challenges confronting
them.
"Women play indispensable roles in private and public
lives and deserve full support and respect of society for those roles.
"Our women also deserve support and encouragement to
participate without discrimination or inhibitions in governance and public
affairs in general.
"Our public policies should therefore deliberately seek
to get the best from them for the peace and progress of our country,"
Lawan said.
The Senate President said the National Assembly will always
promote and defend the rights and interests of the Nigerian women and fight
anything that stands against their well-being and aspirations.
