In her remarks, the Chairperson of NAWOJ in Kwara State, Hajia Bashirah Ayantola, praised Governor AbdulRazaq's administration for its commitment to gender equality, noting the appointment of women to significant positions across state ministries.

She explained the unique responsibilities women face in both domestic and societal roles and requested continued government support to help them fulfill these responsibilities effectively.

Also speaking, former National Vice President of NAWOJ, Hajia Bilikis Oladimeji, emphasized the importance of addressing gender-related issues, which are a priority worldwide.
