Mr Femi Adesina, the President’s spokesman, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday said Buhari stated this at a UN high-level meeting commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the 4th World Conference on Women.
The president noted with satisfaction that through the Safe School programmes, his administration had ensured improved security through the provision of necessary learning materials for educational institutions. Buhari disclosed that Nigeria prioritised vulnerable groups, including women, in the provision of medical and social assistance to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
He urged Member States to develop additional strategies to improve the quality of life for women and girls, pledging that Nigeria would redouble efforts to improve access to productive resources for women and girls as well as continue to ensure the protection of fundamental rights.
