International Women's Day: Women Committee of the United Labour Congress (ULC) March in Lagos

Women Committee of the United Labour Congress (ULC)

International Women's Day march organized by the women committee of the United Labour Congress (ULC) in pictures below.
The boisterous and lively march took off from NUPENG secretariat at Jibowu Yaba and ended at the NUEE Secretariat at Herbert Macaulay way.

My take away from the march, which was more of a carnival, was ULC president Joe Ajaero's response to women's demand for a female president by 2019. According to him, while this is desirable however charity must begin at home. Even in d unions dat are expected to stand for women, women are relegated to the background such that female-dominated unions like the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) and the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) have never produced female union presidents.
