Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, has bemoaned the purported exclusion from Senate proceedings.

During the Committee on Women Affairs’ budget defense, Natasha reportedly accused Ireti Kingibe, the committee chairman, of excluding her from some committee activities.

The member expressed worry over an invitation to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) event in New York, citing the low number of women in the Senate.

According to Natasha, she received the invitation and was instructed to submit her passport for processing.

The senator claims that even though she responded within three hours, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs later informed her that her delayed response prevented her from attending.

Natasha emphasized her disconnection from the process by raising additional concerns about the lack of cooperation and coordination among female senators in relation to a major international women’s event.

“I only learned about the event yesterday at 1:00 pm, and I responded with my passport right away,” she added. I was informed that I had reacted too late and would not be attending, even though I had responded promptly.

“I shouldn’t be treated any differently than other women, especially when it comes to an event that is centered around women’s advancement.”
