GOMBE – Aisha Jibir Dukku, a National Assembly member from Gombe State Representing Dukku/Nafada Federal Constituency, has expressed delight for joining women from different parts of the world in the United Kingdom for the celebration of 100 years of Women Suffrage.
120 women from 86 countries participated in the celebration and Dukku said the celebration looked at the achievements of women and also discussed how to empower women in politics.
Baring her mind on the celebration, Dukku, who led the Nigerian entourage, said though women have come a long way, more needed to be done to uplift women to achieve their God given potentials.
A politician and one of Aisha’s ardent supporters, Yusuf Musa Danbayo, told our correspondent that her diligence and progressive acumen had not just been recognised by the good people of her constituency but a National and international recognition has been accorded to her.
According to him, this has not just brought her to the limelight, but has also brought the good people of her constituency and Gombe State to limelight not just nationally but internationally.
He said, “This honour is well deserved. As a representative she has touched the lives of her constituents in different ways. She has to her credit a host of women empowerment programmes, skill acquisition programmes, tree planting programmes, programmes aimed at rehabilitating and empowering prisoners amongst a host of other achievements”.
