Federal High Court Abuja Upholds 35% Affirmative Action For Nigerian women

Justice Donatus Okorowo of the Federal High Court Abuja on Wednesday held that the National Gender Policy is not merely a policy statement but one that must be backed with requisite action on the part of the government.

He said the 35% affirmative action which entails appointive positions for women to ensure inclusivity must not be merely on paper as Nigeria is a signatory to International Treaties, particularly on those entrenching the rights of women.
