Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, was booed out by staff of the ministry on Thursday, September 11, 2025, as she attempted to leave her office in Abuja.
Some staff members expressed their grievances to newsmen. A female staff, Anne Ojugbele, said, “We don’t have working tools at all. Even a piece of paper to write with, we don’t have. And most of the time you do official assignment with your personal money. She told us that she is not accountable to us that she is accountable to Mr President, that we should go and meet the permanent secretary for anything we need.”
Another staff, identified as Alake Success, also voiced frustration, “This woman refused to meet with the staff. We have taken all necessary step; a year endurance. The beauty of Democracy is to have access to your leader. This woman thinks that she is more special than us. Every Nigerian on the street is a potential president. She came with legions of SAs. She has more than 25 SAs.
What we want, if possible, she should be posted to another ministry.”
Sulaiman-Ibrahim was appointed Minister of Women Affairs in October 2024, following the removal of Barrister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye.
