The women empowerment spree of the wife of Abia State Governor, Mrs Nkechi Ikpeazu, gained momentum at the grassroot with the handover of Okezuo Abia Market stall and empowerment of rural women through her Vicar Hope Foundation in Isialangwa South yesterday.
The spectacular event, which was ably supported by the ebullient Executive Chairman of Isialangwa South, Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku, witnessed mind boggling expression of gratitude by the beneficiaries who were empowered through provision of several livelihood-support machineries and related materials.
Statistics has proven that women are known to produce two-thirds of the world’s food. In general, women provide 50-60 per cent of the labour input, thus the empowerment of women through the provision of training in various skills and credits for livelihood, as being exemplified by Mrs Ikpeazu, will skyrocket poverty alleviation in our society; also seen as a major fundamental frequency to achieving vision 2020 of women empowerment and advancement.
It has therefore, become exigent for all and sundry to support the reelection of Okezie Victor Ikpeazu Ph.D as it remains the only assurance to sustaining these empowerment programmes and related human capital development activities.
