Enugu NGO Hails  Ugwuanyi’s  Collaboration on Women Empowerment

A frontline non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Enugu, Development Education Centre (DEC), saddled with responsibility of empowering women towards self-reliance for socio-economic emancipation has appreciated Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for his administration’s effective collaboration with the organisation.

DEC Enugu expressed gratitude to  Ugwuanyi for identifying with its main objective of advocating for women’s right to education and socio-economic empowerment even before he assumed office as the governor in 2015.

Speaking when she led a delegation of the central body of the women groups working with DEC Enugu and the partner-communities from Enugu, Imo, Abia, Kogi and Benue states to the Government House, Enugu, on a thank you visit to Gov. Ugwuanyi, the Executive Director of the group, Dr. Cecilia Asogwa,  said they are deeply grateful to the governor for the support he has given them since the establishment of the body in 1988.

 Asogwa pointed out that through effective collaboration with  Ugwuanyi’s administration “we today have a quality concrete asphalt road to DEC headquarters at the Independence Layout, Enugu.”

She told the governor that “we are here to thank you and at the same time act in solidarity with your government in Enugu State.”

The DEC Executive Director applauded  Ugwuanyi for making Enugu one of the most peaceful and safest states in Nigeria, disclosing that “this has attracted both indigenes and non-indigenes to make Enugu their base and home.”

Asogwa equally lauded the governor for his administration’s remarkable achievements in the areas of infrastructural development, healthcare service delivery and provision of educational facilities, among others, stressing: “You deserve our commendation.”

Corroborating her remarks, the Patron of DEC, Lady Beatrice  Asogwa equally commended  Ugwuanyi for transforming the university town of Nsukka with massive road network with durable facilities including street lights and traffic lights, line keeping with his inaugural address in 2015.

She said that the construction of the Opi-Nsukka dual carriage way to standard, which was hitherto ravaged by flood, is a worthy testimony to the governor’s good works in the state. 

In their separate goodwill messages, representatives of the women from Imo, Abia, Kogi and Benue states thanked  Ugwuanyi for the immense support he has given to the Executive Director of DEC, Dr. Asogwa  towards actualising the objectives of the NGO in empowering  women, saying that they are impressed with the good works of the governor in Enugu State.
