Major stakeholders working to promote women participation and role in political leadership are currently scalling up advocacy for the speedy passage into law the Women Participation in Elective Office Support Bill 2018.
According to the Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, Tony Ojukwu, while addressing the participants at a media briefing yesterday in Abuja, “This Bill when passed into law will affirm the international standard that the rights of the citizens of our country to participate in politics do not depend on whether they are male or female, enabling for example, political parties in Nigeria to provide for gender equality and representation as integral part of their constitutions and that party resources are equitably distributed among male and female candidates”.
He added that the participation of women in elective office and indeed in shaping the political landscape was generally grounded in their political rights as recognised in regional as well as international human rights instruments to which Nigeria is a party.
Edward Kallon, Country Director, United Nations Development Programmes (UNDP) who also spoke at the meeting said promoting gender equality and active participation of women in political, social and economic is central to the UNDP mission in Nigeria hence the massive support for the Bill.
He commended the efforts the stakeholders had put place by institutionalising legal frameworks to increase the numbers of women in political and elective offices.
Kallon further stressed that the enactment of the bill into Law would lead to the achievement of Goal 5 of the sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that seeks among others things to strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls at all levels thereby leaving no one behind in the enjoyment of civil and political rights in Nigeria.
The Women Participation in Elective Office Support Bill had scaled first reading at the floor of the Senate in 2018. The second reading is expected to commence this January 2019.

Hi there, its good article on the topic of
media print, we all understand media is a enormous source of data.
I do trust all of the concepts you have offered for your post.
They are really convincing and can certainly work.
Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for novices. May you please prolong
them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, therefore
he/she wants to be available that in detail, thus that thing is maintained over here.
Asking questions are genuinely pleasant thing if you are not understanding something fully, but this post provides pleasant understanding yet.
Thanks for the good writeup. It if truth be told was
a enjoyment account it. Glance complex to more introduced agreeable from you!
However, how could we communicate?
What you said made a lot of sense. But, consider this, what
if you wrote a catchier title? I ain’t suggesting your information is not good., but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more?
I mean Stakeholders advocate for speedy passage of WPEOS Bill 2018 – DotunRoy.com is a little boring.
You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write news headlines
to get people to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to get people interested about
everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a
little livelier.
Now most people rarely say what they mean, they say what they THINK will be more effective.
For example a man sees a woman, and he thinks oh she’s pretty, what is the right phrase to say that impresses her and so he straightens his tie and walk up to her and say something along the lines that according to him will impress her.
Another guy walks pass by who is more connected to himself and say what he Feels and whatever he says is an expression of his way of looking at life rather than what he thinks is more effective.
How does the girl respond does not matter to him as he is expressing and not impressing.
