Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umar Bago, has pledged his support to the Governor's Spouses Forum during the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The forum, comprising wives of executive governors, convened to address pressing issues such as sexual-based violence, female genital mutilation, early marriage, and girl child education.
Governor Bago delivered the opening remarks on behalf of the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum, emphasizing the importance of collective action against these social ills. His wife, Her Excellency, was also in attendance, demonstrating the couple's commitment to the cause.
The Governor's participation in this forum underscores Niger State's dedication to tackling these critical issues and promoting the well-being of its citizens, particularly women and children. As the largest state in Nigeria by area , Niger State's efforts can have a significant impact on the country's overall progress.
By engaging with the Governor's Spouses Forum, Governor Bago reinforces his administration's focus on social welfare and human rights, aligning with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. This collaboration is crucial in driving positive change and improving the lives of Nigerians.
