The Nigerian Government and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission have indicated their preparedness to step up joint interventions on women’s political, economic empowerment, girl-child education and treatment of vascular virginal fistula (VVF) patients in the country.
This was the highpoint of a meeting between the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Zainab Maina, and the newly appointed ECOWAS Commissioner of Social Affairs and Gender, Fatima Dia Sow, in Abuja at the weekend.
Sow emphasised on the need to do more to boost women development in Nigeria. “We are looking at strategic areas to enhance our collaboration. Some of these areas include political participation of women, micro-credit empowerment of women and how to increase our efforts in terms of funding.
