IMO FIRST LADY DISCLOSES THE RESOLUTION OF IMO WOMEN

The wife of the Imo State governor, Nneoma Nkechi Rochas Okorocha said it was the resolve of Imo women that every Imo woman will go by the name, NNEOMA- (the good mother) to always remind them of their good motherly role in families as there something in nam

Nneoma Nkechi Rochas Okorocha disclosed this when the Federacion International De Abogadas (FIDA) Imo State chapter paid her a courtesy visit in her office at the government house, Owerri to present her the newly elected executive members of the association

She gave kudos to former executive members of the association led by Barr Ine Nnadi for always identifying with her in her different functions and for working hand in hand with her and urged the new executives led by Barr Ethel Ogechi Echebima to maintain the already established relationship for continuity sake

The first lady while intimating the association with her programmes through which she touches people’s lives such as the SNARP in which she provides roof for indigent widows, Nneoma Kitchen in which she feeds the poor, among others assured of channeling their request to the appropriate quarters

She called on the women lawyers (Imo FIDA) and women political appointees to join force with her in the fight against child theft and rape which seems to be on the increase

In her address, the newly elected Chairperson of Imo FIDA, Barr Ethel Ogechi Echebima said they came to present her the newly elected executives of the association and also solicit her continued recognition, association encouragement and support in the realization of their mission which is promotion, protection and preservation of rights, interests and well being of women and children through the use of legal frame work

They appealed the wife of the governor to include them in her tour to women related programmes where they can teach them how to protect themselves and their children from all forms of discrimination, violence and abuse in society

In another related development, the wife of the governor of Imo State, Nneoma Nkechi Rochas Okorocha has extended hands of fellowship to the Police Officers Wives Association towards making Imo better

The wife of the governor showed this when the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA) led by the wife of the Commissioner of Police, Hajia Idiat Ali paid her a courtesy visit at the government house

Nneoma Nkechi Rochas Okorocha described the relationship between her office and POWA as awesome and wonderful and called on them to maintain it while promising to channel their request to the appropriate quarters

Speaking, the leader of the group and wife of the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Hajia Idiat Ali said one of the problems facing their association is lack of vehicle for transportation of their members especially when there is a programme that requires their movement as a group and solicit the wife of the governor for assistance
