PDP Governors' Forum Congratulates Nigerian Women on 2024 International Women’s Day

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum (PDP-GF) under the chairmanship of the Governor of Bauchi State, H.E. Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, CON, on behalf of the member-Governors, congratulates Nigerian women on the occasion of the 2024 International Women's Day (IWD). 

International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 globally to honour them for their cultural, political, social and economic achievements regardless of national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, financial or political differences. 

In line with the themes of the 2024 celebration, the PDP-GF reassures of its commitment to #InspireInclusion through policies and programmes that promote more participation of women in governance; whether on the ballot or in the places where decisions that affect them are made. This is part of the overall plan of PDP Governors to “Invest in Women’’ and ‘’Accelerate Progress” through empowerment.

The Forum notes that in building an equitable society, deliberate actions must be taken by the government at all levels to dismantle barriers that restrain women from attaining personal and professional goals, as well as addressing the gender gap to create the right environment for them to thrive.

As a responsive government, Governors of the PDP have put several programmes in motion to empower women through education sponsorship, training, free or subsidised healthcare and other policies that support the protection of their rights and abolition of cultural practices that inhibit their growth and progress.

On this 49th Women’s Day, we salute the resilient spirit of the Nigerian woman for being our beacons of hope and symbols of strength. We recognise their groundbreaking achievements in the arts, sports, the financial world, science, technology, engineering and other aspects of life and urge them to keep the flag flying.


Once again, happy International Women's Day.




Hon. CID Maduabum, LL.M

Director General,

PDP Governors' Forum,
