Mrs. Adebayo Benjamins-Laniyi, the Mandate Secretary, expressed these concerns during a press conference commemorating her 100 days in office. She disclosed that a total of 3,072 GBV cases had been reported in recent times in the FCT, with 2,000 of them being reported within the last 100 days.

Benjamins-Laniyi attributed this surge in reported cases to the growing confidence residents now have in the current administration. She emphasized her unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of all women, adolescents, and even men by actively addressing GBV.

The Mandate Secretary pledged to foster an all-encompassing governance approach, ensuring the inclusion of everyone in the fulfillment of her duties. Additionally, she outlined plans to revive the disbanded FCT female football team, the FCT Queens.

Highlighting key activities from her first 100 days in office, Benjamins-Laniyi mentioned stakeholder consultations, familiarization visits to key stakeholders and women groups, and sensitization efforts targeting the wives of traditional rulers and Area Council Chairmen in the FCT on GBV.

She also detailed participation in events such as the 2023 UN Women 16 days of advocacy against GBV in FCT and hosting the First Lady’s Renewal Hope Humanitarian Programme for the aged. Furthermore, the Mandate Secretary conducted tours of various facilities under her office, including the FCT Unity Children’s Home in Gwako, Gwagwalada, FCT Transit Home/Juvenile Correctional Centre, Karu Children’s Home, Baby Friendly Centres/Creches in Areas 11 and Area 3, FCT Women Vocational and Empowerment Centre in Zuba, and several other projects like the Poultry Farm Project in Pasali and Groundnut Processing Centre in Kulo, Abaji.
