Our MandateNeed to Know
Events that shaped and formed us as a ministry
Women for the first time had administrative machinery, a cabinet minister and commissioners that could seat at the apex decision making organs to discuss women issues. In the first tenure of senator Liyell Imoke as governor of CRS in July 2007 further splinted the ministry of women affairs and social development into ministry of women affairs and ministry of social development respectively. Which implies that ministry of women affairs, is an independent separate ministry from his own sister ministry
