 Gov Bago Reserves All LG Vice-Chairmanship Positions for Women in Niger


Governor Muhammed Umaru Bago of Niger State has mandated that all vice-chairmanship positions in the state’s 25 local government areas be exclusively reserved for women in the upcoming local government elections.


A strong advocate for women’s inclusion in governance, Bago emphasized that women have long been marginalized despite their significant contributions to society. He stressed the importance of actively involving them in leadership roles to drive development.


Describing women as key drivers of national progress, the governor stated that their inclusion in governance is not just about fairness but a strategic move for sustainable development.


“This initiative goes beyond meeting quotas; it’s about recognizing the strength, resilience, and intelligence of our women. Their participation in leadership brings balance, innovation, and a unique perspective crucial for development,” Bago said.


In a statement by his Special Adviser on Print Media, Aisha Wakaso, the governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to removing barriers for women and ensuring their rightful place in decision-making.


He also called on All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Niger State to support the initiative, underscoring the importance of inclusive governance.


This decision aligns with Bago’s broader vision to promote gender equity and enhance women’s participation in leadership across all levels of government.
