Senate Leader Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has stated that no nation can realise its full potential when a significant proportion of its population is unable to participate fully in governance, diplomacy, economic development and public leadership. Bamidele made the declaration in New York, according to a statement by his Media Office. He said the inclusion of women in public governance and leadership should be viewed not as an act of favour but as a strategic investment in Nigeria's human capital and institutional strength. He spoke while chairing the presentation of the book 'The Female Diplomat: Navigating Power, Ambition and Identity' at Nigeria House, New York, an event attended by prominent Nigerian and international figures including UN Deputy Secretary-General Ms Amina Mohammed and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
