Shades of Us participated in the ElectHER and Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) September Roundtable Webinar 2025, a timely conversation centered on two critical legislative efforts: the Reserved Seats Bill and the Independent Candidacy Bill. The event, themed Advancing Inclusive Governance, brought together political leaders, advocates, and changemakers to discuss how these bills could reshape Nigeria’s democratic future by promoting inclusive governance and broadening political participation.
