EDO 2016 : GODWIN OBASEKI SPEAKS ON WOMEN EMPOWERMENT.

There is a saying that "the rain produces abundance wherever it falls".

We will provide the enabling environment for women to achieve their highest potential by taking our women empowerment initiative beyond the phase of empowering women. We will empower society as a whole through the women because when we strengthen women we are empowering our domestic economy. We will advance government services when women occupy leadership positions.



Specifically, we will:



• Launch development projects under the leadership of women;

• Improve access to low interest rate financing for Women-in-Business;


We will develop over 20,000 affordable modern shops across the state by renovating existing markets and developing new ones under Public-Private Partnerships (PPP);

• We will also ensure that our women's health indices improve through adequate medical infrastructure, health care services and health care subsidies.

• We will ensure at least 35% women representation in our broad based government across board.
