The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has reiterated its commitment to strengthening women’s participation in politics and governance in Nigeria.
The party said its constitution reserves 40 percent of all party positions at every level for women, making it one of the few political parties in the country with a clear framework aimed at promoting female inclusion in leadership.
