President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has assured that women would be properly represented in his administration.
Tinubu said this at the public presentation of a book titled: “101 Nigerian Women of Impact” authored by Mrs. Zainab Marwa in Abuja on Tuesday.
Tinubu, who was represented by the National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Betta Edu, said women have paid the price for the development, peace and unity of Nigeria and must be appreciated.
He congratulated the author for her accomplishments in the gender space, saying the book would inspire women to greatness.
“Nigerian women have paid the ultimate price for the development peace and unity of Nigeria and this can never be overlooked. All I can say is Nigerian women can go home smiling because they will have one of the best times in representation in government. Nigerian women will be appreciated. Today is a celebration of Nigerian women. They have done well and still doing well. We are proud of every effort that has been put on the table.
“The message you have sent by writing the book to celebrate 101 women amongst over 100 million is simple. You can aspire to be more. The second message is that by working together we can change the picture of Nigeria. Nigeria is at a turning point and the missing chip in that puzzle that would fix this country and give us the speed we need are the women folk. This is your call to action and development,” he said.
The father of the author, Brig General Buba Marwa, stressed the importance of books as instruments of human civilization.
Marwa, who is the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), said as someone who is elated when a book is written, his happiness was doubled as the author was his own daughter.
He said writing was a trait in the family and encouraged her to do more.
The author, Zainab Marwa, said she was driven by the need to inspire young women to achieve more and move to excellence.
The book was reviewed by presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina.
