The positions according to her included Deputy Governor, ChiefJudge of the State, Commissioner as well as principal officers in the house of assembly.

The lawmaker added that the state government had rolled out a number of empowerment programmes to make women in the state financially independent.

She noted that the emergence of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), was an indication that women could attain any political or professional position in life.
