Vice President Kashim Shettima has emphasized the critical role of women’s economic integration in achieving sustainable development. He stated, “We cannot build Nigeria or Africa we envision without fully integrating women into our economic systems. Women are not just participants in our economy; they are leaders, innovators, and the bedrock of sustainable development.”
To support this vision, he launched Project #SheIsIncluded, focusing on four key pillars:
1. Education and Financial Literacy
2. Maternal Healthcare
3. Gender-Sensitive Policies and Programs
4. Expanded Economic Opportunities for Women
This initiative underscores Nigeria’s commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5: gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
Vice President Shettima’s statements and initiatives reflect a strong commitment to women’s empowerment and financial inclusion, recognizing their essential role in national and continental economic transformation.
