Since the historic Beijing Conference of 1995, the global discourse on women’s empowerment in politics and governance has reverberated across nations, Nigeria being no exception. In the quest for gender equality, women have relentlessly championed their causes, demanding greater representation and participation in decision-making processes. However, amidst the entrenched patriarchal norms and cultural barriers, progress has often been slow and arduous.

Enter Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, a trailblazer in the realm of gender mainstreaming and women’s empowerment.

In the eyes of many, Governor Inuwa Yahaya is not just a political leader but a visionary crusader for gender mainstreaming and women’s empowerment. His efforts to dismantle barriers and create opportunities for women in politics and governance have set a precedent for others to follow, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable society in Gombe State and beyond.

The Governor, upon assuming office in 2019, embarked on a transformative journey towards creating spaces for women to actively participate in politics and governance, challenging the status quo of male-dominated leadership.

In a bold move that sent ripples throughout the political landscape of Gombe State, Governor Yahaya’s administration appointed three female commissioners and numerous Special Advisers, Chairpersons of Boards and Commissions, as well as heads of key government agencies and departments during his first term. This marked a significant departure from tradition, where women were often relegated to peripheral roles in governance.

Governor Yahaya’s commitment to gender mainstreaming was underscored by his administration’s facilitation of the first elected female Local Government chairperson in the state. Additionally, the election of female councillors in each Local Government Area further exemplified the strides made towards inclusive representation under his leadership.
