Keynote Address Delivered At The 2016 International Women’s Day Symposium Themed: Private Sector Action To Advance Gender Equality And Sustainable Development, Organised By The Nigerian Stock Exchange On 8th March, 2016 At The NSE Event Center, The Nigerian Stock Exchange House, Marina, Lagos

Date 09/03/2016

It is my pleasure to be at this august gathering on a special day set aside to celebrate women all over the world. It is commendable that the Nigerian Stock Exchange is joining the rest of the world to celebrate women and highlight issues concerning them.  The theme for this year’s Nigerian Stock Exchange organized International Women’s Day Symposium – Private Sector Action to Advance Gender Equality and Sustainable Development, is apt at this time in the socio-economic life of Nigeria as a sovereign State. This theme, in consonance with the International Women’s Day 2016 campaign theme - #PledgeForParity is a call to action for both men and women to take concrete steps in fast tracking the movement towards parity, equal opportunities and elimination of all forms of violence against women and as well as discrimination between men and women in all human endeavour. The journey has been tough and rough and it is still a long way to go for the human race to achieve this much desired equality and equity. But looking back to the recognized official beginning of this quest, a lot has been achieved and therefore, no effort must be spared to bring forward issues relating to the wellbeing and socio-economic inclusion of women and the girl-child.
