Hajiya Hadiza laid down to womenfolks in the state that the state government through her Ministry would introduce different skill acquisition prigrammes that would the lives of women in both urban and rural areas.

She averred that in this state,many women will be engaged in economic activities thereby giving birth to better economic policies and mass participation saying gender education forster political developments, the political atmosphere of a developed society must be based on democracy.

This is participation by the majority through representation. This spirit does not exist in Nigeria because there is no clean representation in the government. Only one gender is actively represented in the government, the other gender or to be more precise, females do not have representatives in the government because of the restricted access to education which they suffer. Women have today, very little to contribute in government. The reverse would have no doubt been the case if females enjoy similar access to education like the males, it will quite be a different story if women are given education to stimulate and motivate female’s right from the grassroots to ensure their participation in power structures and decision making bodies.
