The second lady of Ghana, Samira Bawumia says it is not in the interest of the country that women are not empowered.

According to her, 51 percent of the country’s population are women and therefore there is a need to empower them to adequately contribute to the growth of the country.

Speaking on Asempa FM on Monday, March 9 to mark International Women’s Day, Samira Bawumia said the NPP government has put in place a lot of interventions to help empower women.

She believes the Planting for Food and Jobs initiative, for example, has helped most women in the north who are predominately farmers.
