Only seven out of the 109 senators who will serve in the 8th National Assembly are women, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Four of the female senators were elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while three are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP senators-elect are Stella Oduah (Anambra North), Uche Ekwunife (Anambra Central), Rose Oko (Cross River North) and Fatimat Raji-Rasaki (Ekiti Central).

Those elected on APC platform are Oluremi Tinubu (Lagos Central) and Binta Garba (Adamawa North) and Monsurat Jumoke Sunmonu (Oyo Central), who was the former speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly.

An examination of the list of the female senators-elect showed that all of them, except Senator Tinubu, are new members of the Red Chamber.

The number of female senators who will serve in the 8th assembly is 12.5 per cent less from the eight that are in the 7th assembly.
