She also urged the president to give the women sensitive portfolios so they could express themselves in keeping with their individual professions.

The spokesperson notably complimented Tinubu for selecting Nasarawa State native Mrs. Imaan Suleiman as his ministerial nominee.

Suleiman, according to her, would bring honour to the state and help the president fulfil his promises to Nigerians during the campaign.

She described the nominee for the ministerial position as “an amazon with potential, who does not shy away from responsibility.”

Balarabe-Suleiman also praised Gov. Abdullahi Sule for his administration’s pro-women stance and for encouraging one of them to be chosen as a state minister.

The Head of Service for the State, Abigail Waya, stated that the president has shown his commitment to advancing everyone in his government by nominating nine women.

She stated, “This is a fantastic opportunity for the ladies to show what they can do. (NAN)
