Akpabio Discusses Challenges Faced by Women in Nigerian Politics with EU Delegation
Nigerian politician Akpabio discussed the difficulties women face in winning elections in Nigeria due to lack of support from fellow women lawmakers during a meeting with a European Union delegation led by David McAllist in Abuja. Despite efforts to promote gender inclusivity, women remain underrepresented in Nigerian politics.
The EU delegation's visit aimed to deepen understanding of the situation in West Africa and strengthen partnerships with Nigeria, focusing on democratic development and addressing various challenges. The visit was part of a broader West African tour, including Ghana, ahead of an international conference on security and governance in West Africa and the Sahel.
