Women in leadership roles serve as powerful models for both male and female aspiring professionals. Their success inspires the next generation, breaking down gender stereotypes and encouraging young individuals to pursue their ambitions without limitations. Against this background, Vanguard takes a step further to assess and interrogate the mif-term of the President Bola Tinubu as well as set an agenda for the second half of his first term.
Omowunmi Akingbohungbe, Executive Director, Women in Business, Management and Public Service, WIMBIZ, who spoke on gender parity, hinted that the Tinubu administration has not fulfilled its promises to elevate female representation in leadership.
According to her, leadership cuts across women in business, women in public service, as well as women in corporate organizations.
Excerpts:
The current government made a declaration that it has failed to fulfill. Although the administration took the right step, it is not enough to make a declaration without implementation. There should be at least 35 female representation in government appointments.
