Niger state Governor,Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello has promised to continue to create an enabling environment for women’s development in the state.

Governor Sani Bello said the theme for 2020 International Women’s day “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights” was apt as the country needed the strength and positive contributions of women to enhance growth and development.
“We in Niger state do not take issues of women for granted.They are our mothers and will remain committed to their welfare and advancement especially those at the grassroots through empowerment.”
“We congratulate women all over the world for the day and we charge them to be more committed to their families and the development of their society.”
He called on Nigerians to always respect women and accord them their dues because they have remained fundamentally relevant to the sociopolitical and economic development of the country.
