Nasarawa (Nasarawa State), June 26, 2018 (NAN) Dr Zainab Ahmed, former Secretary to Nasarawa State Government, has urged women to participate actively in the 2019 general election to entrench good governance in the country.
Ahmed, a Permanent Commissioner in the state’s Civil Service Commission, made the call on Tuesday while speaking with newsmen in Nasarawa, Nasarawa Local Government Area of the state.
She said that the call has become imperative considering the critical role women play in the development of a society.
The former scribe urged women not to relent in their efforts towards contributing positively to the development of the country.
“We want the women to participate actively in the political affairs of the country so that they can contribute their quota to the development of the society.
“Let women show their worth that they have what it takes in politics and they can do that through participation actively in the political activities of the country,” she said.
Ahmed also advised women to respect their husbands and live exemplary lives for their children to emulate in the interest of peace and national development.
The ex-SSG urged parents to give adequate attention to the education of their children for the betterment of the society.
Besides, she enjoined farmers, herdsmen and other Nigerians to co-exist peacefully, adding that no society will develop in an atmosphere of confusion and rancour.
Ahmed further urged the people of the state to shun negative tendencies, respect constituted authorities and be law abiding.
“Peace is priceless and non-negotiable, there is need for all Nigerians to embrace it,’’ she said. (NAN)
