Earlier, Tallen thanked the President for always supporting Nigerian women, especially in the fight against rape and gender violence.
“This support that you have given by lending your voice and declaring Nigeria’s zero-based tolerance against rape and gender violence has clearly placed Nigeria on the global map to harvesting best practices around such issues as was spotlighted at the UN General Assembly in September 2020,” she said.
The minister appealed to the President to ensure that the issues responsible for the ongoing strike by university lecturers are resolved amicably, so that students could go back to school.
