Bauchi – The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has called on Nigerian women at home and in Diaspora to collaborate and form a formidable gender group.
The Acting Director of the agency NOA in Bauchi State, Alhaji Nuru Kobi, gave the task in a statement issued by his Public Relations Officer, Mr Shuaibu Danjuma, in commemoration of this year’s International Women’s Day on Thursday in Bauchi.
Kobi said Nigerian women lacked the spirit of collaboration and support for one another which would enable them attain positions of authority.
He said women globally are talented in their areas of professionalism, adding that such talents should be channelled into productive ventures.
Kobi decried the low level of women participation in politics, saying it is one of the major reasons women were often relegated.
He therefore advised the women folk to, irrespective of socio-economic and cultural background, support each other in all endeavours to achieve their goals.
