Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, Minister of Petroleum Resources, in a statement on the recent launch of the book she commissioned, entitled, 'Goodluck Ebele Jonathan: Champion for Women,' stated that, over the past two years, Jonathan has appointed women into over 30 per cent of the top positions in government and also put in place programmes and initiatives designed to help some of the country's poorest women.
