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.

    bookmarked it. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and
    continue to help others.

    is amazing. It sort of feels that you are doing any distinctive trick.

    Furthermore, The contents are masterpiece.
    you have done a magnificent job on this subject!

  44. Greetings from California! I’m bored at work so
    I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break.
    I really like the info you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.

    I’m surprised at how quick your blog loaded on my phone ..
    I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, amazing site!

  51. I was suggested this website through my cousin. I am
    not sure whether or not this put up is written through him as nobody
    else recognize such distinct about my trouble.
    You are incredible! Thank you! plenty of fish natalielise

  52. I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up!
    I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later on. All the
    best

  54. 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.

  56. 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.

  57. 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.

  58. All girls love compliments related to their clothes, personality, smile, perfume, intelligence, looks, hair, communication skills, dressing sense, body parts such as beautiful eyes etc.
    On a lighter note I will tell you, that I gave this compliment to a school friend in my class that, “you have inviting eyes” and next day she brought her father to school”. But later became a good friend.

  59. That confusing moment when you dont know what to comment because you know whatever you write it wouldn’t be enough.
    But if you casually focus on her hair and then complimemt it everytime or just have a look at her hair evertime you meet her… She will really feel that you really like her hair and your compliments were true.

  60. So… Observe her and then compliment her on what you really like 🙂 just don’t find the classic lines which generallly are complimented about.
    Starting from her beauty & sincerity to her serenity & purity is all they want to hear. Compliment them for everything; her eyes, her looks, her nature, her attitude, her dress up etc.

  61. Girls don’t care much about the comment. They care more for the person you are, your character, how you act, how you react etc. To answer what girls like in that is difficult to write because there’s a lot of stuff and it’s explanations are too long.
    Eg:- Be who you are. This is the best advice as well as the worst advice because when you go upto a girl you become different and then you will be the person you are then, the character changes. It shouldn’t and it’s really difficult to explain using words on how to “act normal”. It’s way easier to demonstrate.

  62. Generally I don’t learn article on blogs, but I would like to
    say that this write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do it!
    Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, quite nice article.

  63. I am curious to find out what blog system you have been utilizing?
    I’m experiencing some small security problems with my
    latest website and I would like to find something more risk-free.
    Do you have any solutions?

  64. Admiring the time and effort you put into your website and detailed information you present.

    Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to

  66. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say fantastic blog!

  68. Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making
    a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most
    blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  70. Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit
    and sources back to your site? My website is in the very same
    niche as yours and my visitors would genuinely benefit from a lot of the
    information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay
    with you. Appreciate it!

    would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of
    the load off, I’d love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a
    link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested.

  238. About 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of Sacramento, 65-year-old Sukhwinder Singh said he worked the Quality Market convenience store cash register in the dark, but nobody wanted warm soda and melted ice cream. He estimates he lost about $1,100 in sales and products. Singh has a generator now, but said he can’t keep it running all night when the store is closed.

  239. Also northeast of Sacramento, Scott Paris estimates about $20,000 lost in shutting down his High-Hand Nursery and Cafe when PG&E cut the power earlier this month for about 24 hours during a weekday. A beautiful fall Sunday might bring $50,000 to $60,000 worth of business.

    in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed
    material. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to
    my Google account.

  397. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think about if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
    website could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.
    Fantastic blog!
