The House of Representatives today passed a bill that provides a minimum of 20% allocation for women in ministerial or Commissioner nominees; and for related matters.

The bill is titled, “A Bill for an Act to Alter the Provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 to, Provide Reserved Quota for Women; and for Related Matters”

It is hoped that the reserved quota will help women get into the politicking process and participate properly in the nation-building process.
