PROF. Umar Garba Danbatta, CEO, Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has said that the 2023 International Women’s Day, IWD celebration is another opportunity to reiterate the Commission’s irrevocable commitment to promoting gender equality and inclusive participation.
In a congratulatory statement personally signed by the NCC boss and addressed to all women, Danbatta noted that the call for inclusiveness is in line with the 2023 IWD theme; ‘DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality’’.
Prof. Danbatta revealed that as proof to the Commission’s commitment to women equality, about 50% of NCC’s management team is made up of women, who have distinguished themselves, and demonstrated capacity, capability and desirability to contribute to the success of the Commission in promoting and sustaining the growth of the telecoms sector.
He said: “On this occasion of the commemoration of International Women’s Day, today 8th March, 2023, I warmly congratulate all the women in the Commission.
“It has been established across the world, and in all parts of human endeavours that inclusion of women in leadership, has contributed in commensurate organic growth, which justifies the notion that development of any nation will be incomplete without the participation and contributions of women.
“This is why we are deliberate, purposeful and conscious of the need to encourage women and girls to partake of the innovative digital opportunities available to them to improve their lives and skills in ways that fulfill their needs and aspirations through their chosen careers.
“On this note, and on behalf of the Board and Management, the entire NCC family, I felicitate with our women folk and wish to share in their joy of womanhood, and the expected greater roles they have been destined to play in promoting peace and harmony in the world.”
