Buhari Salutes Womenfolk As World Marks IWD
President Muhammadu Buhari has extolled the virtues of the Nigerian women as they join the other women all over the globe to mark International Women’s Day.
In a statement in Abuja, Buhari said that the celebration, under the hashtag #Break the Bias, and the theme; ‘Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow’, was an opportunity to reflect on the vital roles women play in society, homes, governance, the professions, and in all walks of life.
Buhari, who observed that women were not where they should be yet in different spheres of endeavour, believed strongly that they can no longer be deprived for too long, as they consistently prove that they can hold their own on all fronts and in all fields.
He applauded the contributions of women to the current administration, noting that they were pulling their weights, and making it impossible for anyone to downplay their essence.
The president rejoiced with women and mothers, around whom the tranquillity of homes and society revolves, praying God to grant them peace, joy and satisfaction, as they celebrate 2022 International Women’s Day.
