 The Chairperson and Conve­ner of Asiwaju Renewed Hope (ARH’23), Kemi Olokode-Ayelab­ola has added her voice to the call for gender equality for women, describing it as a moral imper­ative, as well as a key driver of sustainable development and social progress.

Kemi, a behavioural, devel­opmental and child/young per­sons care professional currently based in the Republic of Ireland also commended the leadership of the House of Representatives, especially the Speaker, Rt Hon. Tajudeen Abbas (CFR) and the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benja­min Kalu (CON) for their deliber­ate efforts to involve more women in critical decision-making, par­ticularly in elective offices across the various tiers of government.

She further applauded the House leadership for the genuine commitment exhibited at the in­ternational legislative dialogue on women and the constitutional amendment process in Nigeria, recently organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Review.

Similarly, Kemi equally gave kudos to the Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Women Affairs and Social De­velopment, Hon. Kafilat Ogbara for her immense contributions in making a case for women folks towards societal cohesion, gen­der parity, political participation/ leadership to engender national development.

Olokode-Ayelabola, in a state­ment made available to news­men on Tuesday, advocated for an urgent collaboration and col­lective action by all stakeholders in tackling legal, social, religious and cultural vices and other so­cietal challenges, that serve as impediments to women’s par­ticipation and empowerment in every strata of life.
