Senate in support of 111 additional NASS seats for women, says Omo-Agege
Meanwhile, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege had said the Nigerian Senate is in support of 111 additional seats for women in both chambers of the National Assembly and 108 additional seats for women in all state assemblies across Nigeria.
Omo-Agege who was represented by his special assistant on legal and constitution, Daniel Bwala said this during a town hall on the proposed “reserved seat bill” legislation to create additional special seats for women in the National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly.
The bill is part of the ongoing constitutional amendment in the 9th Assembly, which is:
“A Bill for An Act to alter the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) to create additional special seats for Women in the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly.”
The town hall which was held on Friday, December 2 and streamed live on Channels Television and YouTube was organised by ElectHER in partnership with Yiaga Africa and the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC).
The organisers said the event was geared towards raising public awareness about the bill and its potential to directly lead to an increase in women’s political representation.
