The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) wants President Muhammadu Buhari to consider the implementation of the 35 percent affirmative action

of women representation in his appointment of Ministers, Chief Executive Officers of MDAs, and other Principal Officers in the formation of his Cabinet

Comrade Shaibu also decried the under representation of women in the ninth National Assembly with only 18 women represented in the two chambers. Comrade Shuibu appealed to President Buhari to encourage state governors to extend the same gesture to the Women and the Youths at the states and local Government levels in the appointment of Commissioners, Permanent Secretaries, Local Government Chairmen and other principal officers.

“The picture clearly depicts a lopsided membership of the National Assembly in favour of the Men. Women are still under-represented and obviously marginalized in democratization in Legislative and Executive arms of Government.
