The Imo State Government has validated its Women, Peace and Security State Action Plan.
The government added that the state is the first state in the South-East to join other states across the country.
The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Nkechinyere Ugwu on Monday explained that Action Plan is a policy framework and not a bill requiring passage by the Imo State House of Assembly.
She explained that while the ministry collaborated closely with the legislature throughout the drafting process, implementation remains the immediate priority.
