The statement issued by presidential spokes�man, Shehu Garba, said the president also gave his word that his administration would continue to do all with�in its powers to fulfil that pledge.
He therefore, "direct�ed the Federal Ministry of Women Affaairs to move quickly to identify critical issues militating against the well-being and progress of Nige�rian women, with a view to rapidly devising adequate plans, pro�grammes and strategies to address them."�
