Yetunde, You Make the Future of Nigerian Women Look So Good” — Minister of Women Affairs Celebrates Yeside Olasimbo
In a powerful tribute at the Women With Stories event held on August 28, 2025, Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, showered praise on Yeside Olasimbo, fondly known as Yetunde, for her groundbreaking contributions to women’s representation in governance.
The Minister, in her remarks, declared:
“Yetunde, you make the future of Nigerian women look so good. Yetunde, I am so proud of the work you do. Because of you, we now have a National Assembly that is more gender-focused. I know the work you put into this, and we thank you for all that you do.”
Yeside Olasimbo, Special Adviser to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been at the forefront of championing the Reserved Seats Bill for Women, a transformative legislation designed to secure greater female participation in politics and decision-making.
Her advocacy and behind-the-scenes strategy have earned her recognition as one of the leading voices shaping Nigeria’s gender-inclusion agenda. With women’s representation in governance often facing steep challenges, Yetunde’s role is seen as a game-changer in Nigeria’s democratic evolution.
The tribute from Minister Sulaiman-Ibrahim is the latest in a series of acknowledgments that underline Yetunde’s rising influence and the impact of her relentless push for equity, inclusion, and progress.
As the Reserved Seats Bill continues to gain momentum, Yetunde Olasimbo’s name is becoming synonymous with a new dawn for Nigerian women in leadership.
