SINET’s National Coordinator, Dalhatu Issah, said Sulaiman-Ibrahim has demonstrated “hard work, commitment, and leadership” since assuming office, adding that her record confirms her “experience as a gender advocate and patriotic Nigerian.”
Among her achievements, SINET cited hosting a consultative session with former women affairs ministers, leading Nigeria’s delegation to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), and convening a maiden Women’s Town Hall and Citizens’ Engagement. The group also pointed to economic empowerment programmes that reached over 30,000 women across 18 states and the FCT.
