“No Woman Should Be Allowed To Pay Tax In Nigeria” — Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye Says

Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has called on the Nigerian security agencies to stay off Nigerian women, as they should not pay tax, Vanguard News is reporting.

She said women should be empowered to enable them progress in their day-to-day activities.

Uju, a barrister, gave the warning at the Women, Peace and Security Sector Reference Group 4th Annual Forum 2023 in Abuja.

She said: “Women must be empowered. Without women, there won’t be peace. When you empower a woman, you have empowered 20 women.”
The minister further urged the agencies not to disturb women in their activities, saying “No woman should be allowed to pay any tax fee.”
