...of the FCT Minister and Mother of the Day, Hajiya Aisha Bala Mohammed said the contribution of women in the society can never be under estimated. "That is why my foundation took it upon itself to see to the needs of the less privileged women. We cannot fold our hands as women and ignore the needs of other humans because we are not involved.
