Member Adiguve, the coordinator of the Young Women in Politics Forum in Benue, has called for more women’s participation in politics.
Ms Adiguve said on Sunday in Makurdi that women should stop restricting themselves to the position of women leaders in politics.
The coordinator urged women to aspire to occupy all positions within their political parties and the government.
She said the forum was already conducting extensive public enlightenment across the 23 local councils, educating women on the need to join active politics.
Ms Adiguve stated that the forum was also pushing for the full implementation of the 35 per cent affirmative action on women in the state.
