Gov Ikpeazu Signs Bill granting Right to Female persons to Inherit Father’s Property in Abia

November 30, 2022
in Abia State

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has granted his assent to the Bill which guarantees the right of female persons to inherit and own property in their father’s family, thereby making it Law in Abia State.

It will be recalled that the Abia State House of Assembly passed the Bill some weeks ago to bring Abia State in conformity with international best practices in the area of eliminating all forms of discrimination against women.

While appending his signature on the Law, Governor Ikpeazu made it clear that his administration shall at all times lean on the side of reason and common sense in the discharge of its obligations to the people of Abia State, noting that it has become anachronistic to continue to treat women as second class citizens even in their own families.

The Governor thanked the State Assembly led by the Speaker for dredging up enough courage to pass this Bill which he described as historic, positively disruptive and capable of setting our society on the path of equal opportunities and sustainable development.

The Governor is of the firm view that this is about the most important legislation passed by the State House of Assembly.
He congratulated Abia women for this feat and assured them that the Abia State Government will continue to support them.

The proper citation of the Law is THE FEMALE PERSONS RIGHT OF INHERITANCE OF PROPERTY LAW, 2022, while the Long Title of the Law is “A Law to provide for the Right of a Female Person to Inherit and Own Property and for other Matters Connected Therewith”.

By this, Abia State has become one of the first states in Nigeria to have this Law fully in place.

The Honorable Speaker of the State Assembly, Rt Hon Engr. Chinedum Orji, the Permanent Secretary/Clerk of the State House of Assembly, Sir John Pedro Irokansi, PhD, Secretary to Government, Barrister Chris Ezem and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Okey Ahiwe witnessed the event.
