As part of ongoing efforts to
immortalize Alhaja Kudirat Abiola as
a woman who fought to see her
husband’s dream of democracy in
Nigeria realized as a result of the
military annulment of June 12, 1993,
general elections, a Lagos-based NGO
named after her, Kudirat Initiative
for Democracy (KIND) rolled out the
drums to remind women that the
battle to actualize Beijing’s
Declaration to have 30%
representation reserved for women in
governance should be intensified.
According to Mrs. Amy Oyekunle, KIND
Programme Manager, representation in
decision-making is a right for which
Nigerians fought for and most
recently, during the struggle to end
military rule. To ensure that
Nigeria has a stronger, more
representative democracy in 2011,
KIND launched 30 by 11. |
