Life

Nimota was born in 1963. She studied Islamic Studies and is a graduate in education management. She worked as a teacher before she becoming her state's Commissioner for Women's Affairs.[1] She became a politician and a member of the People's Democratic Party.[2]

She was elected to the House of Representatives in 2011. Other women elected included Folake Olunloyo, Maimunat Adaji, Martha Bodunrin, Betty Okogua-Apiafi, Rose Oko and Nkoyo Toyo.[3] After the election a film, "“Dreams for Nigeria", was made by the International Republican Institute about leading female Nigerian politicians and Nimota was one of the women chosen. The other women were Hon. Binta Masi Garba, Adamawa State; Hon. Saudatu Sani, Kaduna State; Hon. Titi Akindahunsi, Ekiti State, Hon. Maimuna Adaji, Kwara State, Hon. Florence Akinwale, Ekiti State and Hon. Beni Lar, Plateau State.[4] The film was made to further the Millennium Development Goals and particular the third which relates to gender equality.

In 2015 she resigned as the women's leader of the PDP in Kwama. She found her position untenable after the leader of her party shifted his allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) party and asked his followers to vote for that party instead.[2]

gollark: Apparently, if you integrate the "characteristic function of the rational numbers" (1 if rational, 0 otherwise) from 0 to 1, you will attain 1, because x is always rational (because b - a is 1, and all the partitions are the same size), even though it should be 0.
gollark: For another thing, as I found out while reading a complaint by mathematicians about the use of Riemann integrals over gauge integrals, if you always take the point to "sample" as the left/right/center of each partition *and* the thing is evenly divided up into partitions, it's actually wrong in some circumstances.
gollark: For one thing, the sum operator is very bee there because it does not appear to be counting integers.
gollark: It's wrong and abuse-of-notationy however.
gollark: And this isn't even *used anywhere* except that one or two of the integration questions use this as an extra layer of indirection.
