The event, organized by the Kano State Ministry of Women Affairs in collaboration with entities like Ford Foundation, focused on women’s development strategies. Hajiya Aisha Lawal Saji reaffirmed the government’s commitment to women’s empowerment. The Isa Wali Empowerment Initiative urged the government to implement these policies effectively.
