“I humbly urge all women, all female public service officers, not to yield to biases and stereotypes, but to act with boldness, act with clarity, act with purpose, build networks, seek mentorship, share your knowledge, sharpen your strategic expertise and excel in your discipline.
“Position yourself as an indispensable contributor to national development,” she said.
