Stop Attributing Women’s Success To Sexual Relationships With Their Bosses- Abimbola Fashola Warns

While celebrating this year’s International Women’s day at the Police College in Ikeja on Thursday, the Lagos State first lady warned in her speech that people should stop attributing women’s success to sexual relationships with their male bosses at work. She said;

“This year’s theme, ‘Equality for women is progress for all,’ is very apt; women should not be prevented from doing the things that they are qualified and equipped to do simply because they are women. Unfortunately when a woman rises fast to a certain height, her proficiency in the said field is ignored. Rather, various unpalatable premises are brought to the fore as reasons for her success. Nigerians should stop alluding a woman’s success to sexual relationships with her bosses because we don’t do that to men.”
