The wife of the Enugu State Governor, Mrs Nkechinyere Mbah has called for collective efforts by women towards ensuring that their members are included in the Country’s scheme of things.
Mrs Mbah made this call on Saturday in Enugu to mark this year’s International Women’s day.
Mrs Mbah who spoke on the theme ‘inspired inclusion’,stated that women have numerous potentials that should be harnessed to enhance their welfare and also occupy prominent positions in the Nation’s polity, urging them to utilize these endowments in making themselves relevant.
The Governor’s wife maintained that Nigerian women, Enugu in particular are educated, humble, intelligent and other attributes, urged them to use their numerical strength in achieving desirable positions.
She lauded Governor Peter Mbah for his drastic war against insecurity, saying that it has made Enugu one of the safest States in the Country.
Mrs Mbah explained that Governor Mbah has within the nine months of assuming Office made frantic achievements in enhancing the welfare of women and children in the State.
The Enugu First Lady decried the high spate of food insecurity, noting that it has posed intractable challenges to successive administrations.
She listed malnutrition, anaemia, academic deficiency as some of the pitfalls inherent in food scarcity and enjoined all well thinking people to join hands with the State government in fighting this menace.
She thanked Governor Mbah for his achievements in fighting hunger and deprivation, noting that her Pet Projects are geared towards uplifting the status of the Vulnerable group in the State.
The Governor’s wife said, ‘International women’s day is celebrated globally to commemorate the resilience, achievements and contributions of women in various fields of endeavour whilst also acknowledging the challenges they continue to face.
This year’s theme ‘inspire inclusion ‘,propels us to recognize and appreciate the diverse talents, perspectives and experiences that women bring to the table.
Primarily, International Women’s Day serves as a call to action for accelarating Women’s rights and fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
To achieve true inclusion, we must break down barriers that hinder progress, these include addressing issues such as gender -based violence, unequal access to education, healthcare and discriminatory practices in the workplace.
The role of women in our society is multifaceted and often, women bear the weight of ensuring the well-being of their families.It is with this understanding that my Office has taken a step forward on this International Women’s Day to address the pressing issue of food insecurity that affects countless households in Enugu State.
In a world where food insecurity continues to cast its shadow over the lives of many, it is both an honour and a duty for the First Lady of Enugu State to take a step towards alleviating this pressing issue.
We acknowledge that addressing food insecurity requires collective efforts, and today’s initiative is a small yet significant step towards a future where no one in Enugu State goes to bed hungry. Let this act of generousity inspire us all to contribute to the well-being of our fellow citizens, fostering a community where empathy and support prevail’.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Ngozi Eni,stressed the need for unity among the womenfolk to realize their noble dream of securing juicy positions in the nation’s leadership arena.
She said that International Women’s Day is a day set aside to celebrate women and advised them to value one another.
In her own speech, the immediate former wife of the Governor, Mrs Monica Ugwuanyi extolled the roles of the Governor’s wife towards uplifting the status of the vulnerable groups and told the women to rally around themselves for positive impacts.
The occasion featured award presentation to eminent women including the Governor’s wife and her predecessor, paper presentation among others.
The Governor’s wife later drove to the Ogui Police Station to see three little children abandoned by their mother for a suicide under a moving vehicle.
Mrs Mbah awarded scholarship to the three children and handed them over to the relevant Ministry for their upkeep.
