Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to empowering women through deliberate policies and actions that ensure inclusivity and gender equality.

He made this assurance during the 2025 International Women’s Day celebration at Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos.

Speaking at the event with the theme: “Accelerate Action,” Sanwo-Olu emphasised the need to move beyond rhetoric and take decisive steps to address barriers hindering women’s progress.

He said: “We must address the inequalities and barriers that still hinder women.

Here in Lagos State, we don’t just say it; we are actively implementing it through policies that empower women across all sectors,”

The Governor highlighted his administration’s investment in initiatives that promote self-sufficiency, leadership, and economic participation among women.

According to him, these efforts align with the THEMES+ agenda, aimed at fostering inclusiveness for the development of the state.

Reinforcing the importance of collective effort, Governor Sanwo-Olu called on men to actively support gender equality.

“True progress requires collective action, and I encourage all men to join the movement for gender equality.

Sustainable change can only happen when men and women work together in harmony,” he said.

He assured Lagos women of continued government support, stressing that inclusivity and gender equality remain critical to the state’s sustainable development.
