The proposed legislation, sponsored by Senator Biodun Olujimi is meant to align all aspects of laws and implementation of laws relating to women empowerment.
Specifically, Olujimi, who said the same bill she sponsored in the Eight Senate suffered same fate, explained that the proposed legislation was targeted at ending discrimination against the female gender.
Some of the senators who spoke against it, argued that it would offend the sensibilities of a certain religion, and make it unimplemented in some parts of the country.
