Osun Community Declares End to Female Genital Mutilation, Pledges to Report Offenders

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

The people of Akinlalu community in Osun State have publicly declared their total abandonment of female genital mutilation (FGM) and vowed to report anyone found practising or promoting it to law enforcement agencies.

The historic declaration was made on Thursday during a well-attended public event organised by Action Health Incorporated (AHI) with support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

Speaking on behalf of the community, the traditional ruler, Oba Israel Oluwabusola, the Alakinlalu of Akinlalu, announced the collective decision to end the harmful traditional practice.

“As the monarch of this town, I have consulted widely with my people and we have all agreed to completely stop the practice of female genital mutilation in Akinlalu,” Oba Oluwabusola said.

“We will continue to collaborate with the NGO, health officials, and security agencies to ensure that no one engages in this harmful act. Anyone caught will be promptly handed over to the appropriate authorities,” he added.

The monarch attributed past adherence to the practice to ignorance of its severe health consequences, including complications that can lead to stillbirths.

“Our forefathers did not know that many of the problems we faced, including stillbirths, were caused by FGM. Now that we are aware of the dangers, we are committed to protecting our daughters,” he stated.

He urged residents to spread the message throughout the community, emphasising that education and awareness are key to ensuring future generations live healthier lives.

Fatima Idris, Programme Officer at Action Health Incorporated, described the declaration as a significant milestone in the fight against FGM in Osun State.

Mrs Mary Bifarin, founder of Mary Care Foundation – a community-based partner organisation – praised the inclusive approach of the sensitisation programme.

“We ensured that the monarch, chiefs, religious leaders from both Islamic and Christian faiths, and the entire community were fully involved. Today’s public declaration sends a clear message that Akinlalu is no longer a place where female genital mutilation will be tolerated,” she said.

The Akinlalu declaration is part of broader ongoing efforts in Osun State to eradicate FGM. Recently, AHI, with support from UNFPA and in partnership with the Osun State Ministry of Education, trained adolescent students from five secondary schools in Ilesa on comprehensive sexuality education, with a strong focus on the dangers of FGM and the importance of reproductive health rights.

Community leaders and health advocates have hailed the development as a powerful example of how tradition can evolve when armed with knowledge, unity, and commitment to the well-being of the girl child.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

The Wife of the Zamfara State Governor, Her Excellency Huriyya Dauda Lawal, has distributed comprehensive welfare packages to hundreds of women from various communities, organizations, unions, and security formations as part of efforts to alleviate economic hardship during the 2025 Christmas season.

The distribution ceremony took place at the Government House in Gusau, the state capital.
Beneficiaries cut across religious, ethnic, professional, and social lines, including members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Yoruba and Igbo communities, non-indigenes, the Gidan Zala community, market women, youths, teachers, nurses, doctors, NYSC members, and personnel from security and uniformed services such as the Nigerian Army, Police, Immigration, Customs, Civil Defence, DSS, Road Safety, NDLEA, Prison Service, Fire Service, Red Cross, and Zarota, among others.
Each welfare package contained essential items such as bags of rice, pasta, sugar, cooking oil, cash support, and other household necessities designed to ease the financial burden on families during the festive period.
Speaking at the event, representatives of some beneficiary groups expressed profound gratitude for the First Lady’s kindness.
Mrs. Martila Udowella of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Lolo Ugueze Theresa Obijiaku wife of the traditional head of the Igbo Community in Gusau and Mrs. Esther Ariyo of the Yoruba Women Community all praised the gesture as timely and inclusive.
In her address, Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal commended women for their unwavering support of Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration and described them as the pillars of peace, stability, and development in Zamfara State.
“The strength of Zamfara lies in the resilience and commitment of its women. You are the backbone of our society, and your contributions continue to drive the growth and progress of our state,” she said.
She explained that the initiative was aimed at ensuring that women and their families celebrate Christmas with comfort, joy, and dignity, while urging beneficiaries to distribute the items fairly within their respective groups to foster unity and compassion.
“I pray that this season brings peace, blessings, and prosperity to every household. May we continue to work together to build a harmonious and prosperous Zamfara State,” the First Lady added.
Reaffirming her dedication to women’s empowerment, Hajiya Huriyya pledged continued support for programs that uplift women, strengthen families, and promote community development across the state.

Minister Calls for Renewed National Push to Boost Women’s Political Inclusion Benin City, Edo State

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

The Honourable Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim, has urged the nation to forge a stronger, unified commitment to amplifying women’s voices in political decision-making. Speaking at the 25th National Council on Women Affairs and Social Development (NCWACD) in Benin City, the Minister emphasized that true national progress hinges on dismantling barriers to women’s political participation, framing it as an “urgent national emergency” rather than a mere policy footnote.

The two-day council, hosted by the Edo State government and attended by commissioners from all 36 states, governors’ representatives, and development partners, served as a pivotal platform for aligning federal and subnational efforts. “Women’s political inclusion is not a luxury, it’s a strategic imperative for inclusive growth, peace, and electoral integrity,” Suleiman-Ibrahim declared, calling for immediate action on legislative reforms, enhanced funding, and grassroots mobilization. She highlighted the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda under President Bola Tinubu as a blueprint for change, praising its focus on economic renewal, education, and social investments that prioritize women.

Central to her address was a renewed push for the “Reserved Seats for Women Bill,” currently under deliberation in the National Assembly. The legislation, which proposes dedicated parliamentary seats for women to bridge the gender gap, was described by the Minister as a “matter of justice, representation, and securing the future for our daughters.” She commended the 10th Assembly’s leadership for sustaining the conversation, noting that Nigeria’s current female parliamentary representation, hovering around 4%, lags far behind global benchmarks, where women hold just 26.5% of seats worldwide, according to UN Women data.

The Minister’s remarks echo broader commitments from the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), which on November 19 pledged to bolster subnational support for gender equality. Led by NGF Director General Dr. Abdulateef Shittu, the governors affirmed their dedication to inclusive governance, including the domestication of the National Women’s Economic Empowerment Policy and expanded programs like the Nigeria for Women Project. State commissioners, including Edo’s Hon. Mrs. Eugenia Abdullah, outlined five key pledges: policy harmonization, increased women in leadership roles, data-driven initiatives, peer learning networks, and stronger ties with international partners.

Suleiman-Ibrahim also spotlighted the ministry’s flagship Renewed Hope Social Impact Interventions (RH-SII-774), now active in all 774 local government areas. These initiatives aim to revitalize rural economies, promote community inclusion, and deliver gender-responsive services, with a special emphasis on protecting vulnerable groups like persons with disabilities and informal sector workers. “This is about restoring dignity, one woman, one family, one community at a time,” she said, underscoring the need for inter-sectoral collaboration to translate policies into tangible outcomes.

The timing of the council aligns with global milestones in 2025, including the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration on women’s rights and the UN’s Resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security. Yet, challenges persist: Globally, women comprise only 22.9% of cabinet ministers, with Nigeria’s figures even lower in key portfolios like finance and defense. Domestically, barriers such as violence against women in politics, limited party nominations, and resource disparities continue to stifle progress, as noted in recent UNDP reports.

Stakeholders at the event, including civil society leaders and UN representatives, hailed the Minister’s call as a “game-changer.” Dr. Maryam Ismaila Keshinro, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, reinforced the message: “Our collective will must drive accountability and action, ensuring no woman is left behind in Nigeria’s democratic journey.”

As the NCWACD concludes today, delegates are expected to adopt resolutions mandating state-level implementation timelines. For Suleiman-Ibrahim, the path forward is clear: “Women’s voices are the nation’s power. Let’s commit—not just in words, but in deeds—to build an equitable Nigeria where every seat at the table reflects our diverse strength.”

Bandits Abduct Four Nursing Mothers in Late-Night Raid on Kano Village, Leaving Babies Behind

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

In an act of violence that has left a rural community reeling, armed bandits stormed Yan Kwada village in the Faruruwa area of Shanono Local Government Area, Kano State, late Sunday night, abducting five women, four of whom were nursing mothers and ruthlessly discarding their infants before fleeing with the captives and a herd of livestock.

The attack, which occurred around 9 p.m., saw the assailants arrive on motorcycles, firing shots into the air to terrorize residents and force their way into homes. Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos as the gunmen, armed with sophisticated weapons, targeted vulnerable households, separating the mothers from their newborns in a heart-wrenching display of cruelty. “They threw the babies away like trash and dragged the women into the night,” recounted one villager, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear for their safety.

Yahaya Bagobiri, chairman of the Faruruwa community security committee, confirmed the harrowing details in interviews with local media outlets. He revealed that while five women were initially seized, one managed a daring escape, reuniting with her family and leaving four nursing mothers in the bandits’ clutches. The raiders also made off with approximately 50 cows and an unspecified number of other animals, compounding the economic devastation on an already impoverished agrarian community.

This incident marks yet another escalation in the wave of banditry plaguing Kano’s border regions with Katsina State, where criminal gangs have intensified operations amid shifting dynamics in neighboring areas. Just days prior, security forces repelled a similar incursion in the same locality, neutralizing 19 attackers in a fierce firefight. However, Bagobiri expressed profound frustration over the apparent lapses in response. “We alerted the military and other agencies yesterday when we heard the bandits were approaching, but nothing was done until they struck at 9 p.m.,” he lamented. “These attacks happen almost daily, despite the heavy security presence. Our people are living in constant fear.”

The abductions have ignited urgent calls for defenses and cross-state collaboration.

Community elders and traditional leaders are appealing to Kano State authorities to intensify patrols and coordinate with Katsina, where recent peace accords with bandit factions have reportedly displaced criminal elements into adjoining territories. “Kano must reinforce its frontline security or risk total destabilization from these spillover effects,” warned a senior traditional figure from the area, emphasizing the need for swift rescue operations to save the captives.

As of Monday evening, the Kano State Police Command had not issued an official statement on the incident, though villagers hold out hope for immediate action. The fate of the four abducted mothers remains uncertain, with families pleading for their safe return amid growing outrage over the vulnerability of women and children in Nigeria’s restive north.

AAC Stands Firm Against Sexist Jokes Targeting Anambra Gubernatorial Hopeful

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

The African Action Congress (AAC) has strongly condemned a wave of sexist jokes and online mockery aimed at its female candidate, Chioma Ifemeludike.

The party issued a statement defending her recent campaign photos, which have sparked widespread debate on social media. Ifemeludike, a Nollywood actress turned politician, shared the images to highlight her vision for inclusive leadership in a state long dominated by male figures.

The controversy erupted after Ifemeludike posted a series of striking photos and videos on X (formerly Twitter) on October 29. Dressed in elegant, modern attire that blended traditional Igbo elements with contemporary style, she positioned herself as a beacon of change. “I am the flag bearer of the African Action Congress and I’m proud to say that I’m the best candidate in the November 8 Anambra gubernatorial election,” she wrote.The posts aimed to challenge deep-rooted patriarchal norms, but instead drew criticism focused on her appearance rather than her policies.

AAC’s official response labeled the backlash as “sexist jokes and coded language” designed to sideline women in politics. “We have observed how our candidate, Comrade Chioma Ifemeludike, a vibrant and ideologically clear woman, is being judged by her outfit choice and physical features rather than the quality of her ideas,” the party stated. The statement urged Anambra voters to reject such misogyny and prioritize issues like development, security, and economic growth over superficial attacks.

Prominent voices within the party echoed this sentiment. Omoyele Sowore, AAC’s 2023 presidential candidate and national chairman, took to X to praise Ifemeludike as an “exemplary young woman” whose intelligence is being unfairly overshadowed. “It is profoundly disappointing that chauvinists are disparaging her groundbreaking ideas and remarkable intelligence by directing criticisms at her appearance,” Sowore wrote. He called for a focus on her character and capabilities, not her looks.

Social media reactions have been mixed, showcasing societal tensions around gender in Nigerian politics. Supporters like user Obinna Belonwu hailed her as “already the winner” for combining beauty with substance.Others, such as Kunlay, joked positively about needing a “baddie as the next governor.” However, detractors like Owolabi Bayo dismissed the photos as a “fashion parade,” arguing for candidates with “clear plans and proven capacity.” One critic even questioned her suitability based on a single image, prompting accusations of moral panic from defenders.

Ifemeludike herself addressed the stereotypes head-on in a campaign video. She spoke candidly about navigating male-dominated spaces, saying, “In Anambra State, many still believe that a woman who squats to urinate cannot oversee the affairs of the state.”

Drawing from her experiences as an actress and activist, she emphasized that her run is about competence and integrity, not gender. “I have the ability, capability, and capacity to run this race with any gender,” she affirmed, calling for an end to vote-buying, violence, and corruption.

The incident underscores ongoing challenges for women in Nigerian elections, where female candidates often face scrutiny beyond their platforms. AAC framed the attacks as unsurprising, pointing to similar biases in institutions like the National Assembly. As the campaign heats up, Ifemeludike’s team vows to keep the spotlight on her agenda: inclusive governance, youth empowerment, and restoring Anambra’s dignity. With just over a week until polls open, her story has galvanized discussions on whether the state is ready for its first female governor.

Party leaders warn that such tactics aim to “shrink women out of political spaces,” but Ifemeludike remains undeterred. “Beauty and elegance are about courage, kindness, and intelligence. Ndi Anambra must vote for social change,” she declared in her post.

As supporters rally online with hashtags like #VoteChioma and #BreakThePatriarchy, the election could mark a turning point for gender equality in Anambra’s leadership. Voters are left to decide: Will they judge the book by its cover, or embrace the ideas within?

Nigeria Police Force Gears Up to Honor 70 Years of Women in Policing

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is preparing to mark a historic milestone by celebrating 70 years of women’s contributions to law enforcement. The event, announced by Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, honors the courage and dedication of female officers since their first enlistment in 1955.

Scheduled for December 3-4, 2025, the two-day commemoration will bring together serving and retired policewomen to reflect on their transformative impact on national security.

Over the decades, women have joined the ranks of the NPF in growing numbers, breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field. From handling administrative duties to leading tactical operations and investigations, female officers have proven their mettle in diverse roles. Their entry in 1955 marked the beginning of a gradual shift toward gender inclusivity, helping to build a more balanced and empathetic police service.

IGP Egbetokun praised the women as “pillars of integrity, empathy, and excellence,” crediting them with enhancing the force’s operational success and public trust. He highlighted how their compassionate approach has redefined policing, fostering stronger community ties and improving responses to sensitive issues like gender-based violence. This anniversary underscores the NPF’s progress in empowering women to rise to leadership positions.

The celebration will feature a lineup of engaging activities designed to educate and inspire. Highlights include a national lecture on the evolution of women in policing, an exhibition showcasing historical artifacts and milestones, and interactive panel discussions with veteran officers. These sessions will explore challenges faced and lessons learned, offering insights for future generations.

A community outreach program will cap the events, focusing on mentoring young women interested in law enforcement careers. This initiative aligns with the IGP’s vision for ongoing training and development, ensuring female officers receive the tools to excel. By promoting professionalism and inclusivity, the NPF aims to attract more diverse talent to its ranks.

This 70th anniversary serves as a powerful reminder of women’s enduring role in safeguarding the nation. The NPF’s commitment to their advancement not only strengthens the force but also inspires broader societal change.

70% of Nigerian Women Live in Extreme Poverty, Says Minister

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

October 24, 2025 

Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs, has revealed that seven out of every ten women in the country are living in extreme poverty. She shared this shocking figure during a national summit on gender equality organized by her ministry and UN Women in Abuja.

The minister explained that extreme poverty means women cannot afford basic needs like food, clean water, medicine, or school fees for their children. “Many wake up every day unsure of their next meal,” she said. She pointed to major causes: women own little or no land, banks rarely give them loans, and they face barriers to education and good jobs.

Most of these poor women live in rural areas. They make up 70% of Nigeria’s farm workers and grow 60% of the nation’s food, yet they earn far less than men. In northern states, early marriage and low school enrollment keep girls out of classrooms. For example, only 54% of women can read and write, compared to 71% of men.

To fight this crisis, the minister announced a N500 billion Women Economic Empowerment Fund. The plan is to give small loans, training, and market access to 5 million women within two years. The government will also provide 100,000 solar-powered machines to help rural women process crops like rice and cassava, saving time and increasing income.

The minister urged the National Assembly to pass laws giving women more roles in government and protecting their rights to land and property. “Women are the backbone of our homes and economy,” she said. “When we lift women out of poverty, we build a stronger Nigeria for everyone.” Leaders from UN Women, banks, and civil society groups promised full support.

Rafiat Onitiri Assumes APWB Leadership, Pledges Bold Reforms for Women’s Empowerment in Nigerian Banking

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

Lagos, Nigeria – October 22, 2025 

Rafiat Onitiri, a seasoned banking executive with a formidable track record, has taken the reins as Chairperson of the Association of Professional Women Bankers (APWB), vowing to redefine the landscape for women in Nigeria’s financial sector.

Her election, announced at a vibrant ceremony in Lagos, marks a significant transition as she succeeds Funke Ladimeji, whose tenure elevated the association’s profile through robust mentorship and advocacy. Onitiri’s acceptance speech, charged with resolve, outlined an ambitious agenda centered on empowering women, fostering transparency, and driving strategic initiatives to reshape an industry where gender parity remains elusive.

Onitiri’s vision, articulated before a diverse audience of banking professionals, regulators, and stakeholders, emphasized dismantling systemic barriers that hinder women’s advancement. “Our mission transcends professional development; it’s about rewriting the narrative for women in finance,” she declared.

The APWB, established in 1983 as the women’s wing of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), has long championed skill-building and networking. Yet, Onitiri’s leadership signals a pivot toward bolder interventions, leveraging digital platforms, influencing policy, and forging cross-sector partnerships to amplify impact. Her pledge to prioritize inclusion resonates in a sector where women, despite forming nearly half the workforce, occupy only 25% of senior roles, according to recent industry data.

Her credentials lend weight to her promises. With over 20 years in banking, Onitiri has navigated complex roles, including Head of Commercial Banking at Polaris Bank and founder of Athrol Empowerment Solutions Limited, a firm dedicated to financial access for underserved women.

Her academic portfolio, spanning a Master’s in Business Administration (Chartered Bankers) from Bangor University, a Master’s in Marketing Management from Lagos State University, and advanced training from Lagos Business School, equips her to bridge practice and policy. As a Fellow of the Executive Resource Programme (FERP) and the Institute of Credit Administration (FICA), and a member of the CIBN Governing Council, Onitiri’s expertise in credit analysis and sustainable finance positions her to tackle the sector’s evolving challenges, from fintech disruptions to climate-focused investments.

Under Funke Ladimeji’s leadership, the APWB gained momentum through initiatives like the Female Bankers Connect series and high-impact symposia that mentored hundreds and forged corporate alliances. Onitiri inherits this legacy but faces a complex landscape: Nigeria’s banking sector is at a crossroads, grappling with economic volatility, regulatory shifts, and the rise of digital finance.

Her strategy includes expanding digital literacy programs to equip women for tech-driven roles, advocating for gender-sensitive policies at regulatory levels, and strengthening mentorship pipelines to nurture the next generation of female leaders. “Transparency and inclusion aren’t buzzwords; they’re the bedrock of sustainable progress,” she emphasized, hinting at plans for greater accountability in APWB’s operations and partnerships.

The broader effect of Onitiri’s leadership are already stirring excitement. Industry voices, like APWB Treasurer Chinwe Egwim, predict her focus on strategic impact will ripple beyond banking, influencing Nigeria’s economic fabric. As Managing Director of FIC Professional Network PLC, Onitiri is poised to integrate her corporate influence with her APWB role, driving initiatives like leadership summits and policy roundtables. The association’s upcoming calendar, detailed at apwborg.com, promises a dynamic mix of workshops and advocacy campaigns. For women in Nigeria’s financial sector, Onitiri’s rise is a clarion call: The future is not just inclusive, it’s unapologetically female-led.

New Initiative to Empower 48,000 Women in Nigeria’s Katsina State Amid Economic and Security Challenges.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

A beacon of hope emerged for women in northern Nigeria today as the Women Initiative for Northern Nigeria Development unveiled an ambitious plan to support 48,000 women across 16 local government areas in Katsina State. The initiative, announced on April 3, 2025, aims to bolster economic opportunities in a region long hampered by insecurity and scarce resources, offering a lifeline to women seeking financial independence.

The program targets some of Katsina’s most underserved communities, where banditry, poverty, and limited infrastructure have disproportionately affected women’s livelihoods. By providing training, resources, and access to markets, the initiative seeks to bridge the economic gap that has left many women in the region struggling to support their families. Specific details on funding and implementation timelines are yet to be fully disclosed, but organizers say the effort will prioritize sustainable growth.

The move aligns with broader national commitments to uplift Nigerian women, syncing pledges made by President Bola Tinubu and other leaders during last month’s International Women’s Day events. In March, Tinubu emphasized dismantling systemic barriers and expanding women’s access to finance and governance roles, a vision this initiative aims to put into action. Katsina, a state in Nigeria’s northwest, has been a focal point for such efforts, given its high rates of poverty and gender disparity.

Local women’s advocates have welcomed the announcement, though some caution that success hinges on addressing the region’s security challenges. “Economic empowerment is vital, but it’s hard to thrive when you’re living in fear,” said Amina Yusuf, a community leader in Katsina. “This must go hand in hand with peace.”

The Women Initiative for Northern Nigeria Development’s plan marks a significant step toward gender equity in a region where opportunities for women have historically been limited. As the program rolls out, all eyes will be on Katsina to see if it can deliver on its promise of transformation amid the area’s complex realities.

Pregnant Woman’s Death in Lagos Hospital Sparks Anger Over High Fees.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

A pregnant woman named Kemi died in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, after a private hospital reportedly refused to treat her because her family couldn’t pay a ₦500,000 deposit. The tragic story, first shared by Kemi’s husband, Akinbobola Folajimi, in February, went viral on April 2, 2025, after @Drweloveu posted about it on X, leading to widespread anger.

Folajimi said Kemi was in labor and needed urgent care, but the hospital demanded ₦500,000 upfront. Unable to pay, they were sent to a general hospital in Epe, but Kemi passed away on the way. A video shows Folajimi begging Kemi to stay awake, saying, “Kemi, look at me. Stay strong for our kids.” Official reports confirm the hospital’s deposit policy, though the full details of Kemi’s death are still being investigated, according to Tribune Online.

This incident has upset many people because Nigeria already has a high rate of maternal deaths, over 800 per 100,000 births, according to health data. Many women die from issues like bleeding or infections that can be treated if care is given on time. Users across social media platforms, have few opinions on how to avoid issues like this through insurance, users like @Ne0_0fficiall

said health insurance could have saved Kemi. “I used my insurance in Lagos and paid nothing for treatment,” they wrote. @Oyshia_oy

added that ₦54,750 can cover a pregnant woman for two years with insurance.

The story shows big problems in Nigeria’s healthcare system. Many hospitals lack enough staff or equipment, and a 2019 study showed that some healthcare workers aren’t well-trained for emergencies like Kemi’s. The government has a health insurance program to help, but many people don’t use it because they don’t know about it or it’s not working well.

People on X are calling for change. @Oluwamidunsin suggested pregnant women register at government hospitals for cheaper care. @Drpenking, a doctor, shared how he once paid for a patient’s treatment but wasn’t paid back, explaining why some hospitals ask for money first. @Drweloveu’s group, Love for Health, is asking for donations to help others in need, sharing a Zenith Bank account (1229255323).

Kemi’s death has made many Nigerians demand better healthcare so no more mothers die because they can’t pay hospital fees.
