Wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, and other stakeholders have implored managers of organisations, to create work-friendly places for lactating mothers to take care of their babies.

They urged stakeholders, especially the private sector in other states to support family-friendly policies like six months maternity leaves, and workplace crèche to enable working mothers to breastfeed their babies exclusively as well as see it as an investment in human capital development.

With an increasing number of women in the country starting and running successful enterprises, Charles Ocici, the Enterprise Uganda executive director, says Ugandans should support them to thrive and become business icons.
