Monday, August 19, 2024 -Former Minister of Environment, Mrs Lawrencia Laraba-Mallam, has called for increased involvement of women in politics.
Speaking on Sunday, August 18, at a
sensitization seminar organized by the Dignity of Women Commission, St. John’s
Catholic Church, Kaduna on the theme: “Women participation in politics and
guide for direction”, she lamented the economic situation in the country and
said it has pushed the youths into trafficking, domestic abuse, kidnapping,
among others.
The former Minister then urged women
to come out and join politics to help build a better nation.
She added that people were being
deceived that politics is a dirty game.
She said: “We are just beginning to
know the truth and we must be very serious about this. God willing, we shall
succeed.
“The drivers of the economy are 95%
men. We all know that women are better managers; look at the homes, give a
woman little milk, she will cater for her family very well.
“No wonder it is said that if you
train a woman you have trained a nation.”
She stated that the voices of women
are needed in the parliaments to speak out and condemn the rot going on.
