Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dr Mariya Mahmoud, has said that the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, is committed to advance women’s economic growth and unifying their potential for national and global impact.
Mahmoud made this known virtually at a side event organised to celebrate UN Commission on the Status of Women, @ 68, in New York.
The event which was tagged, “The Abuja Accelerator: Unifying Women for Global Impact” was organised by the office of the Mandate Secretary for Women Affairs Secretariat, in collaboration with UN Women.
She said women’s economic progress and full potential would be achieved under the Abuja Accelerator programme designed to invest in women to accelerate their progress.
Mahmoud described the ‘unifying women for a global impact’ as a powerful concept that underscores the potential for collaboration and solidarity among women worldwide.
The minister said the programme would serve as a beacon for this vision, offering a platform for women to come together, share their experiences and amplify their voices for meaningful change.
