The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria, heartily congratulates Hon. Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim on her recent appointment as the Federal Minister of Women Affairs. This appointment is a clear testament and acknowledgment of the huge strides achieved through dint of hard work, commitment and patriotism for the country.
Her exemplary track record, commitment to justice and dedication to the empowerment of women and children in Nigeria make her a deserving choice for this esteemed position.
We are confident that under her capable leadership, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs shall be further galvanised to tackle heads-on, the myriad of challenges that women in Nigeria face which are not limited to troubling cases of sexual and gender based violence, gender discrimination, limited access to educational opportunities, forced and early marriages, insecurity, lack of economic assistance, and a host of other challenges.
We believe that the Ministry shall continue to advocate for women’s rights, advance gender parity and push for inclusive policies that uplift Nigerian women and children.
FIDA Nigeria remains staunch in its commitment to supporting all these efforts and looks forward to working closely with the Honourable Minister to bolster our shared mission of ensuring that women and children across the nation have access to justice, empowerment opportunities and a safe, enabling environment in which they can thrive and live free from all forms of discrimination, violence and abuse.
