Nigerian women on Wednesday, April 5, celebrated the first anniversary of winning the 35 percent affirmative action upheld by a court of law on April 6, 2022.
The Nigerian Women Trust Fund and eight co-plaintiffs released a statement to mark the win.
Recall that the case had first been heard on December 2, 2020, at the Federal High Court Abuja, and 16 months later, on April 6, 2022, the hope of Nigerian women and the next generation of girls was reignited after the landmark judgment upheld and mandated the implementation of the provisions of the National Gender Policy (2006) on 35 percent affirmative action in appointive positions.
