In Abuja, the second day of the Gender and Inclusion Summit 2025 placed women’s health and empowerment at the center of discussions.

Speakers raised concerns over dwindling donor support for gender-focused programs, warning of a looming crisis if urgent steps are not taken.

They called on state authorities to take the lead in driving reforms that ensure women’s full participation in the economy and public life.

The summit continues this week, with stakeholders pushing for concrete commitments to bridge gender gaps in Nigeria.
