Today on #InternationalWomensDay ,we celebrate all the amazing women in Lagos state. Women are an embodiment of strength, wisdom and grace. There's no limit to what a woman can accomplish.

#EachforEqual

The Lagos state government is committed to ensuring women reach the top of their many individual aspirations. Let’s look at some of the ways we are driving the #EachForEqual goal.

Lagos state has one of the most inclusive cabinets in the country. We believe not in tokenism but in the fact that women are great leaders.

We also have various empowerment programmes specially targeted at supporting formerly neglected female groups.

#EachForEqual

With the @LSETF launch of the W-Initiative, there is more access to capital for female entrepreneurs and creators.

We are proud of our domestic laws which promote the rights of women. Our laws are some of the most sophisticated in Nigeria and we will continue to improve them.

We have a collective responsibility to imbibe values such as love, equity, partnerships, continuous learning, unlearning and re-learning because an equal world is an enabled world.

The question we should all ask ourselves is "What am I doing to achieve gender equality?"
