Kaduna came alive as Governor Uba Sani flagged off the North-West advocacy campaign for the Reserved Seats for Women Bill, turning Umaru Yar’Adua Hall at Murtala Square into a lively carnival of ideas, colours, and energy. At the centre of it all, Governor Uba Sani set a reformist tone, making clear that women’s participation in politics is not charity—it is justice. While gender inclusion has long appeared in policy statements, he said the Reserved Seats for Women Bill offers the first real solution—creating extra legislative seats for women without removing existing representatives, as a temporary but necessary corrective. “These realities send a simple message,” Uba Sani added: “When opportunity is fair, women lead with distinction.”Participants described the campaign launch as both symbolic and strategic. With Kaduna setting the pace and Governor Uba Sani leading boldly, the push to end women’s under-representation has gained a strong engine, turning inclusion from aspiration into a national goal.
