The Director-General of the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies, Issa Aremu, has called for deliberate constitutional and policy reforms that would increase women’s representation in governance, including the creation of special seats for women in Nigeria’s National Assembly.
Aremu made the call in Ilorin during the 2026 International Women’s Day celebration organised by the institute in collaboration with the Development Research and Projects Centre in Abuja
The event, themed “Advancing Women Through Unity: The Impact of Collective Support – Give to Gain,” brought together labour leaders, market women, people living with Disabilities, government officials and development partners in a citizenship engagement to discuss strategies for strengthening women’s participation in leadership and national development.
