Female representation in leadership positions is an economic imperative. A country that keeps down half of its productive demography is bound to perform sub-optimally.

The issue is not just board representation, it is about representation in politics and government where major decisions affecting lives are made. Perhaps, even more importantly, it is about the education of girls.

The high levels of female illiteracy is dangerous from all possible standpoints. If half your population is uneducated, it means that development and competitiveness in a knowledge-driven world won’t happen or will happen too slowly to be of much use.

Educated women means educated children, and this is the pipeline for women who will become CEOs, legislators, government officials and bureaucrats. Female representation must not be reduced to representation by a few elite women who have the good fortune of education.

There is a much larger fight for the future of a large majority of girls who are not even represented in primary schools. We must talk to State Governors. The States of the Federation control primary & secondary education; they must be engaged in the advocacy & persuasion efforts

I think a question that pops up in conversations on this subject is: Do women do better than men in the same positions, or are men better performers on the job than women? The arguments are endless but permit me to share a story from my time as Attorney General of Lagos State ��

Let us also consider these three studies from the Centre for Economic Policy and the Economic Forum; research from Macquarie Business School by Dr. Farida Akhtar and Deloitte's 2021 Women in the Boardroom Report. ����

Nigeria beats the world average by over 3% which clearly shows positive movement in the male dominated boardrooms. We need to do more to increase the number of women's representation in government positions.

Feminist VP......

Let them contest and work hard they'll get there.


No one will carry CEO and leadership positions and hand to them like it's their birthright

I the motion for affirmative action for our women. There has to be a kind of quota system for them. They have been relegated for soo long.

God bless our women!

NasoLifeBe!!!

Another banga Lamba!

Osibanjo be testing Buhari and company with such 'dangerous' statements!

Education of a girl child: This i stand very firmly with, every female child deserves a much better education like the male ones. I find an educated lady more romantic by the way.

BUT

Women in leadership position: A big No No for me, that is more like an avenue to breeding of more feminist. The ones we have now have grown so much wings, They now see themselves as mini-god, that they think the only thing left for them now is a pri*k.

Just yesterday a female prof. beat up the police attached to her. Such effontery!

Talks like this make me wonder if Nigerian women are banned from leadership positions.

Nigerian women just don't like taking the lead, they prefer being dominated by men. Tbh

...Or they are being largely held down by misogyny and patriarchy!

Tsk tsk!!!

If English Language was enough to fix the problems of any society, Dubai for dey envy Nigeria under Osinbajo's Vice Presidency.

Man be churning out stomach sweetening wordplays on every occasion but turns out to be the most docile and disappointing VP in the history of Nigeria's democracy.

And I hate him for making himself into such a knockabout. Imagine the number two citizen of the most populous black Nation on earth being reduced to a LAPO agent!

What does this Tsk mean?

Ok

Osunbande... How much is the quota of women in leadership Position and girls in school since you and your Principal poo'hari assumed the malistration of the country.... What have you been doing since 2015 as regards that??

Your poo'hari said women should be in da oda room...and you are here telling us women should be in leadership and school...

Does your party have twö different manifesto for women or none at all or you mean One should recognize women to leadership positions through speakimg motivationally and the other manifesto is based on "in da oda room"...

Confused and lying APCshit

Angelfrost:

Tsk tsk!!!

That is also another factor. Patriarchy and misogyny.

But I put it to you today that women are the gatekeepers of patriarchy. If they want it to end, it'll end.

Maybe I can agree with you on the rest of your submission.
But Osinbajo is not the worst VP in the history of Nigeria. If we are crying, it doesn't mean we are blind. Let's try to be objective

Your last statement is quite interesting!

Please, throw more light on how women can end this especially in third world nations! Thanks.

define misogyny
Just be parroting nonsense upandan

How many women are in leadership position in his team?

By all means, please indulge me.

Who in your informed belief beats Osinbajo to that spot? Which former Vice President since 1999 has been so pitiable enough to be reduced to an errand boy for a presidential cabal?

The one time Osinbajo made a firm move in Buhari's absence and removed a top ranking officer in one of the intelligence agencies, was the decision not roundly rebuffed and was he not further reduced to nothingness upon the return of the Aso rock relic from one of his medical sojourns?

You have a dictionary online and offline... You need me to teach you how to use it??!

Just be vexing and being unnecessarily defensive upandan!
