The Social Integrity Network (SINET), a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) committed to equity, social justice, and economic development, has commended the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, for her outstanding initiatives that align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
At a press briefing held in Abuja on Tuesday, SINET’s National Coordinator, Dalhatu Issah, applauded the Minister’s dedication to fostering peace, unity, growth, and inclusiveness among women across Nigeria since assuming office in October 2024. He noted that Sulaiman-Ibrahim’s efforts have elevated the Ministry of Women Affairs through innovation, transparency, and impactful service delivery.
Trailblazing Achievements in Office
Issah stated that Hajia Sulaiman-Ibrahim has proven herself to be “hardworking, intelligent, and patriotic,” demonstrating an uncommon commitment to national development.
Among her notable accomplishments are:
