Ogun Commissioner Calls for Southwest Women’s Unity to Bridge Gender Gap “No state can walk this journey alone” — The Ogun State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Motunrayo Adeleye, has urged women leaders across Nigeria’s Southwest to unite in addressing gender disparities and empowering women. Speaking at a Pre-Council Workshop in Abeokuta ahead of the upcoming National Council of Women Affairs in Edo State, Adeleye described the event as a “call to action” for inclusive policies, family strengthening, and protection of vulnerable groups. She emphasized the importance of bold conversations and collaborative strategies: “Let’s engage deeply, speak boldly, and listen intently,” she said. The workshop also featured key remarks from federal and state representatives, focusing on aligning gender policies with the Renewed Hope Agenda and creating pathways for economic and social development. A united front among women in governance, Adeleye noted, is crucial for building a prosperous, equitable Nigeria. #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquality #SouthwestUnity #OgunState
