The National Governors Forum (NGF) has pledged its full support for the bill seeking reserved seats for women in the National Assembly. 

The National Assembly proposes creation of special constituencies exclusively contested by women in both the National and State Assemblies, aimed at temporarily boosting women’s participation in governance.

In a statement issued at the end of their meeting in the early hours of Friday, October 24,2025, the governors urged members to actively lobby both federal and state lawmakers to ensure the passage of the proposed legislation, which aims to increase women’s representation in political office.

The forum also commended the Federal Government’s fiscal policies, particularly those driven by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which have been aimed at stabilizing the nation’s economy. 

The forum reiterated its dedication to tackling Nigeria’s growing security challenges and pledged to work closely with the Department of State Services (DSS) to address emerging threats and enhance national security.
