Ahmad Lawan, the president of the Senate, expressed regret over the 9th Senate’s failure to adopt the Gender Equality Bill, which was meant to enhance women’s rights in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Even laws pertaining to the National Assembly<\/a>, he claimed, could not be passed for mysterious reasons, but this was not a cause to discount the Senate’s performance.<\/p>\n

Lawan made the remarks on Friday, just before President Muhammadu Buhari was honored during Eid ul-Fitr celebrations at the State House in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The Senate President<\/a>, however, advised proponents of such bills not to lose hope but rather campaign vigorously when presenting them again to the 10th National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Recall that out of about 68 legislations or amendments, five bills sought to promote more opportunities for women in political parties, governance and the society at large.<\/p>\n

But the National Assembly voted against all five bills concerning the women folk, prompting criticisms from a cross section of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

One of the five bills sought to grant citizenship to foreign-born husband of a Nigerian woman. Already, a Nigerian man\u2019s foreign-born wife is automatically a Nigerian citizen.<\/p>\n

While another bill sought to allocate 35 percent of political positions based on appointment to women. Another legislation sought to create special seats for women in National and State Assemblies.<\/p>\n

His words, \u201cFirst of all, when the bills, five of them that concern women, were not voted for by the National Assembly. I think naturally, there are things that we assume could happen. But they didn\u2019t happen the way we wanted them. But remember that even bills that concern the National Assembly were killed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are bills that concern the National Assembly itself, that did not see the light of the day. I felt bad that we could not pass even one. But then we shouldn\u2019t really lose hope, we should continue to campaign, we should talk to more and more members of the National Assembly. And we should also re-strategize.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe the kind of campaign that was undertaken may not be necessarily the one that will give you the kind of outcome that we needed. But I\u2019m very confident that we should continue to campaign for issues that we have not been able to get right.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me give you an example. The bill on Mayor for FCT, almost every constitutional amendment period Mayor of FCT will surface. But it has not been passed. Does that mean that we shouldn\u2019t continue to ask for a Mayor for FCT, those that feel there should be a Mayor? No!<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are issues that concerned the National Assembly itself that were not really passed. So I felt bad that we couldn\u2019t pass any of them. But I\u2019m also very optimistic that if we re-strategize, look at the way we campaign we could get either all of them or some of them passed in the next Assembly by the grace of God\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
