As part of effort towards nation building women have been urged to play optimal role to take leading in bringing about change in the society.
The representative of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) MDCEO, Mrs. Emenike Iheoma gave the advice on the occasion of leadership training/fund raising programme organized by Izon National Female Congress of Nigeria at the Earnest Seisei Ikoli Press Centre, Azikoro road, Yenagoa the state capital.
Mrs. Iheoma stated that the integration of women in development is no longer merry-go slogan as concrete step is to be ensured that gender mainstreaming and girl-child education is taken seriously.
Speaking at the occasion, the guest speaker, Dr. Kamio Bruce with the theme: “Arise Bayelsa: Leading for Change” stated that new Nigeria of the people’s dream will emerge when leaders understand that government do not belong to them will now have to care for the people, stressing that a leader who is leading and people do not follow is only but strolling.
Dr. Bruce stated that when change is ignored, the only thing one welcomes is chains, saying that a leader should be able to effect a change to the people where the mentality will determine the manifestation.
The guest speaker stated that people need mental orientation where men and women who are changed upstairs can take the leadership role to ensure effecting a change.
Speaking to journalists after the occasion, the Izon National Female Congress of Nigeria, Queen Preye Court noted that women are not carried along as nobody to sponsor them especially the group she is heading but on empowerment of women, they have tried their best supporting the women in their little way; thus nee sponsors to assist the Izon National Female Congress of Nigeria.
Queen Court stated to mobilize women to vote for the person of their choice in April’s poll, stressing that in the oil communities of Niger Delta and in the states level, women should be carried along and sensitized to have understanding of what people are doing.
Earlier, the Chairman of the occasion, the Managing Director of Pahek Security Services Limited, Mr. Otunba Patrick H. Keku, represented by Elder Gesiye Ekade stated that women are special right from creation, saying that it is his first time identifying with the group and as an INC elder will communicate the executives that such a group exists so as to be partnering.
