PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi as mandate secretary for the newly formed Federal Capital Territory Administration’s (FCTA) Women Affairs Secretariat.
This was revealed in a statement by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister’s Director of Press, Anthony Ogunleye, on Monday via a post on FCTA’s official X handle.
Her appointment comes only days after the President sanctioned the formation of a Women Affairs Secretariat to address women’s issues in the FCT Administration through the Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike.
Wike, who disclosed this while briefing journalists in Abuja on Friday, said that the move was part of Tinubu’s commitment to inclusive governance that carried everyone along.
Ogunleye noted that Benjamins-Laniyi will be critical to the FCTA’s mission to improving the well-being and empowerment of women and children in the FCT.
