"We should honour the memory of past members like Airey Neave by treating each other and the institut..." — Kemi Badenoch

Growing up in Nigeria I saw real poverty - I experienced it, including living without electricity and doing my homework by candlelight, because the state electricity board could not provide power, and fetching water in heavy, rusty buckets from a bore-hole a mile away, because the nationalised water company could not get water out of the taps.

I was lucky. I got university degrees and had a successful tech and finance career. But many of my generation weren't.

I'm not just equality minister I am also a Treasury secretary.

As equalities minister, I am responsible for promoting equality of opportunity for everyone.
