President Bola Tinubu has appreciated the effort of the Women in All Progressives Party (APC) for their support during the campaigns and elections, adding that they all deserve awards for their efforts.

Tinubu made the commendation when he received in audience the All Progressives Congress (APC) Women Leaders from the 36 States and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja led by the APC National Woman Leader, Dr Betta Edu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

His words:

“You all deserve gold medals because you worked so hard politically, overcoming so many obstacles like the fuel scarcity and Naira ‘confiscation,’ promising that their children would receive better rewards as their future is now guaranteed with the initiatives being put in place.”

He, however, tasked the APC women leaders to educate the citizens on the policies and programmes of his administration with the awareness that the present difficulties are temporary.

He assured them that his administration would do all required to retrieve the country from the stranglehold of those who have stifled her growth and development.

The President further declared that his administration was already implementing many policies and programmes that would positively impact the citizens.

His words:

“We have established a scholarship scheme that would guarantee their four years of tertiary education.

“Security is paramount in my administration’s agenda because women bear the cost of insecurity anywhere in the world.

“Issues of insecurity are being discussed at the highest level, and this administration will ensure that insecurity is halted immediately.

“Medicare is another. We will ensure that health facilities are revamped and we will pursue this with vigour. Industrialization is yet another priority as your children and relations will gain employment.”
