I will continue to promote women advancement – Aisha Buhari

Wife of the President, Dr. Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari has reaffirmed her commitment towards promoting   the   socio-economic   and   political   advancement   of women in Nigeria through her Future Assured Programme.  She was speaking at the NEXT LEVEL Thank you Celebration and Luncheon at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos on Saturday 16th March, 2019.

Mrs. Buhari said the President has already promised to engage more women and youth in   his second term. She therefore urged them not to relent in the collective duty to make the NEXT LEVEL a reality.

“I wish to express my appreciation to Nigerians especially Women and Youth for their unprecedented contribution towards our success at the election. In particular I must mention the role played by the Women and   Youth Presidential   Campaign   Team I initiated to support the APC Presidential Campaign Council.”

Mrs. Buhari attributed the success of the President to the firm belief Nigerians have in the ability of this administration’s developmental agenda to take us to the NEXT LEVEL. She therefore called on the President and Vice President to continue to build on the foundation of the good works they started in order to justify this confidence.
