The participation of women in leadership is a matter of right as enshrined in the National Gender Policy (NGP) which provides for 35% Affirmative Action in favour of women. What our world needs is a synergy of the genders in order to surmount the myriad of challenges facing it.
However, our women must overcome fear, apathy and cultural biases if they must maximize their leadership potential, conscious of the fact that they aren't mentally inferior to men and definitely not less endowed with leadership capabilities than them.
Thankfully, Akwa Ibom State is on course in the drive to fully implement the 35% Affirmative Action.
I also received an award from the organization on behalf of the First Lady while I was decorated as an Ambassador of MWAN.

It was my pleasure to welcome back His Excellency, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pst. Umo Eno from his engagement with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and elected National Assembly Members from Akwa Ibom State.
We look forward to a brighter and prosperous Nigeria.
This administration is committed to providing succor on the journey to recovery.
As part of our efforts to support victims through their hard time, I flagged off the distribution of relief materials donated by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs at the meeting with NEMA today.
Natural disasters usually leave great loss of life and property in its wake such that its victims would struggle to recover from its impact. I deeply sympathize with victims of the 2022 flood in Akwa Ibom state.
Our discussions focused on the efforts the present administration would make to work in partnership with UNHCR in rendering assistance to refugees residing in camps in the various host communities in Akwa Ibom.

Hilda Baci is an Akwa Ibom lady and yesterday night as she was cooking, Akwa Ibom dancers came to dance and encourage one of their own.
It's all hands on deck because she's all of us at this moment!!!
