Women deserve a real seat at the table not later, but now.

For years, Nigerian women have driven progress in every sector, yet remain underrepresented where decisions about our nation are made. The Reserved Seats for Women Bill is a bold step toward fixing this imbalance and strengthening our democracy.

This bill isn’t about favours it’s about fairness, equity, and giving women the space they have long earned. When women lead, governance becomes more inclusive, communities thrive, and Nigeria moves forward.

FIDA Nigeria proudly supports this bill and calls on all stakeholders to do the same. A more just and representative Nigeria starts with ensuring women have the seats they deserve.

*FIDA Nigeria, Oyo State Branch* joins the world to commemorate United Nations International Widows Day 2025

Theme: "Orphans in Need" 🎗️

Today, we remember the countless widows and their children who face emotional, social, and economic struggles after the loss of a spouse and parent.

This year’s theme calls you and me to action—behind every widow is often a child in need of care, education, protection, and a better future. You can be the voice, the support, the change they need.

At FIDA Oyo, we remain committed to defending the rights of widows and orphans. But we can’t do it alone.

👉 Let’s all stand together to ensure no widow is left behind and no orphan is forgotten.

🌟 ADVANCING WOMEN’S INCLUSION IN LEADERSHIP & POLITICAL PROCESSES IN NIGERIA 🌟
FIDA Nigeria, Oyo State Branch, driving the call for gender equity in governance!

FIDA Nigeria, under the auspices of the Advance Women Political Participation Project titled “Advancing Women’s Inclusion and Representation in Leadership and Political Processes in Nigeria,” recently held a powerful series of Advocacy/Town Hall Meetings aimed at building consensus and consolidating memoranda to be submitted tothe Constitutional Reform Committee during the forthcoming Zonal Public Hearings.

The activity was implemented across the three Senatorial Districts of Oyo State: Oyo Central, Oyo South, and Oyo North.

📢 This transformative initiative is supported by UN Women and funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom Government.
It is being carried out across nine focal states of the federation:
📍 Anambra, Enugu (South East)
📍Edo (South South)
📍 Oyo (South West)
📍 Kogi (North Central)
📍 Adamawa (North East)
📍 Sokoto, Kano, and Jigawa (North West)

👥 Key stakeholders in attendance included:

Hon. Dr. Comforter Adeniyi-Olajide – Oyo State House of Assembly, Ibadan North Constituency 1

Hon. Olubisi Oluranti Michael – Ogbomosho North

Musibau Adetunbi, SAN – Judicial Service Commission Member

Dr. Ademola Ebeloku – Rector, Federal Polytechnic Ile-Oluji

Traditional rulers, government officials, civil society leaders, religious leaders, NURTW, NLC, Trade Union Congress, Market Unions FOMWAN, ASUU, NLC, media outlets (NTtv, Telegraph, Dominion TV), community leaders, women leaders, and other stakeholders from across Oyo State.

🔥 A standout moment was the “HeForShe” Champion Session!
Across the state, approximately 70 men signed up as HeForShe Male Champions, boldly declaring their commitment to women’s political participation.

In addition, 30 men at the senatorial district level also lent their voices and signatures to the cause — showing that true gender inclusion must be embraced and advanced by all.

These champions spoke with passion and purpose, endorsing the Reserved Seats Bill, and advocating for fair and equitable opportunities for women in leadership.

⚖️ The call is clear:
As Nigeria’s constitution undergoes review, there is a collective demand for reserved seats for women — including a mandatory one female Senator from each of the 36 states and the FCT. This is a critical and long-overdue step toward building inclusive and representative governance.

💜 FIDA Nigeria, Oyo State Branch remains committed to amplifying women’s voices and pushing for real political transformation. The journey continues until equity becomes policy and representation becomes reality.
