I am still unable to describe the joy I felt when PLAC, a Non-Governmental Organisation, asked me to travel to the ancient city of Benin City to interview Nigeria’s 1st elected female Senator, Senator Franca Afegbua.

The full interview can be read here: https://placbeam.com/2022/04/28/women-in-politics-more-reliable-than-men-says-nigerias-first-elected-female-senator-chief-franca-afegbua/ Indeed, we need more women in governance and this may only be achieved through a legislation.
Temporary Special Measures… Yes?
Can this solve Nigeria’s low women representation in National and State Houses of Assembly?
