“The Minister’s work in promoting economic empowerment, ending gender-based violence, and expanding opportunities for women entrepreneurs aligns perfectly with the ideals of the Peace Achievers International Awards,” Amafibe added.
Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, since assuming office, has been instrumental in implementing programs that uplift rural women, support widows and displaced persons, and promote the inclusion of women in leadership and governance. Her ministry has also championed national campaigns for the protection of the rights of women and children and the prevention of gender-based violence.
