The Federal Government has endorsed the establishment of crèches at markets and workplaces nationwide to optimise working mothers’ productivity and promote breastfeeding.
President Bola Tinubu disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja at the inauguration of the remodelled workplace nursery (creche) by the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs ( FMoWA).
Represented by, his Special Assistant on Health, Salma Anas the President said the innovation would enhance national development.
He commended Mrs Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the Minister of Women Affairs for her achievements within 100 days in office.
“We will continue to support you to replicate this in every state of the federation and in every workplace.
“This will be extended to those working in the informal sector because more women are working outside the formal sector.
“So, working with you and all our partners that are here, we hope to replicate and ensure we have workplace crèches for mothers working in the formal and informal sectors, as well as the marketplace,’’ he said.
