The PUNCH reports that 24 elected Assembly members who served in the 9th legislative Assembly between 2019 and 2023 were all male.

A former Commissioner for Women Affairs in the state, Hajia Mopelola Abdulmalik-Bashir, had earlier said in a recent interview with The PUNCH that “It will interest you that the current Chairman of the Committee for women affairs in the state House of Assembly is a man.
