Nigeria proposes 37 new women’s seats in National Assembly to boost representation.
Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, through representative Kafilat Ogbara, announced a proposed bill to add 37 reserved seats for women in Nigeria’s National Assembly—three per senatorial district—to combat systemic underrepresentation.
The initiative, unveiled at the VOW2025 conference in Abuja, is backed by President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and key leaders, including Minister Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who noted women hold less than 6% of Assembly seats—far below global and AU targets.
The bill is seen as essential for inclusive democracy, national development, and Nigeria’s international reputation.
