There is so much women can achieve, in as much as all efforts are being geared towards a positive course, nothing can deter them from achieving greatness.
The Secretary to Ondo State Governement, Princess Catherine Oladunni Odu, made the assertion while playing host to executives of Nigeria Association of Women Journalist (NAWOJ) Ondo state Chapter in her office.
The State Secretary, Princess Odu, while welcoming the NAWOJ executive members expressed delight over the impactful programmes and projects the Association have achieved through the years.
According to her, the Association has not only successfully promoted interests of Female Journalists, but thoroughly engaged in women advocacy and gender equity matters, towards a better developed State and nation at large.
Commending the NAWOJ State Executives, Princess Odu, mentioned that though the team was only recently appointed, she was particularly impressed to hear about their impactful activities, especially in the areas of reaching out to children, widows and mentally challenged persons in the state.
The Secretary assured the team of her readiness to collaborate with the Association towards propelling and empowering women to reach great heights in their various endeavors.
Earlier in her remarks, the State NAWOJ Chairperson, Mrs. Tola Gbadamosi who said the visit was necessary to show support to Princess Odu having trailed her drive and passion for women emancipation over the years, described her as a woman of foresight, noting that NAWOJ would be glad to render continued support to sustain her efforts in the State.
