As the world marks International Women’s Day, Tuesday, Members of the House of Representatives said they will revisit three bills earlier rejected in the process of the 1999 constitution amendment.

The bills that include indigenship, citizenship, and 35% affirmative action for women, will be recommended for consideration and will be part of the second batch of the constitution amendment to be presented in a couple of months.

The women, under the aegis of Nigerian Women Groups had last week stormed the National Assembly lamenting rejection of women-related bills.

The women protested against the action of the lawmakers after rejecting all bills relating to women.

They  promised to return if the decision was not reversed.
