The Development Education Centre (DEC), a Non-Governmental Organisation, has commended Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his administration’s women empowerment initiative.
The Executive Director of the NGO, Dr Cecilia Asogwa, made the commendation on Monday, when she led a delegation of the group on a thank you visit to the governor.
Asogwa thanked Ugwuanyi for identifying with the group’s main objective of advocating for women’s right to education and socio-economic empowerment.
She said that they were deeply grateful to the governor for his support to the organisation since its inception in 1988.
She further said that through effective collaboration with Ugwuanyi’s administration, the road to the DEC Headquarters in Enugu had been built.
The DEC boss further applauded the governor for making Enugu one of the most peaceful and safest states in the country.
According to her, this has attracted both indigenes and non-indigenes to make Enugu their base and home.
She also commended the governor for his remarkable achievements in the area of infrastructure development, healthcare services and provision of educational facilities, among others.
In a remark, the Patron of DEC, Mrs Beatrice Asogwa, also thanked Ugwuanyi for transforming the university town of Nsukka with massive durable road network.
She described the reconstruction of the Opi-Nsukka Road, hitherto ravaged by flood, to a dual carriageway, as a testimony to the governor’s good works in the state.
In their separate goodwill messages, representatives of the group from Imo, Abia, Kogi and Benue states, thanked Ugwuanyi for his immense support to DEC toward actualising its objectives in empowering women.
DEC works toward achieving women empowerment, self-reliance and socio-economic emancipation.
