Women and civil society groups are set to occupy the National Assembly on Wednesday, over decision of the lawmakers to vote against bill seeking to create special seats for women in federal and state parliaments.
Senators and members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday unanimously rejected bills seeking to grant life pension to presiding officers of the National Assembly.
This is as the lawmakers begin voting on amendments to the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.
They vowed to name and shame the lawmakers for voting against the bill, aimed at promoting gender equality in Nigeria.
