She said: “It is obvious and glaring that Nigeria has upright, dependable women with impeccable characters that can pilot the affairs of this country to an enviable level.

“Nigerian women are ready to take a lead in the country and so are ready for anything for the progress of the country. I can boldly tell you that the women in this country are ready for anything.”

On whether the country has capable women to lead this country, Justice Fati said: “You should not even talk of capable women because we have them in abundance. They are everywhere and ready to lead very well.

“What is actually remaining for them is the time and opportunity, which is very important to take the lead and I am optimistic that the time will come soon.”

Meanwhile, the International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI) have berated the Nigerian government for not giving vent to the 35 per cent affirmative principle captured in the 2006 National Gender Policy.

The United States of America advocacy groups, added that the National Assembly had continually bungled the opportunity to adopt legislation that supports greater participation of women in politics.
