Fr Opi explained that the training also aimed at involving more women in the constitutional review process. 
 
Margaret Idwa Okuye, the Director for Administration and Finance in state Information Ministry is a member of the core groups of the constitution review process.
 
Her participation, she said, was to ensure the view and interests of women were included in the permanent Constitution.
 
She added that women were concerned with the issue of affirmative action.
 
She observed that the 25 per cent of official posts for women was not enough and should work hard to achieve their demands.
