Counsel Offers Recipe For Societal Dev

A Port Harcourt-based legal practitioner and human rights activist, Barr. ThankGod Nmah has described peace as a basic ingredient for the development of the society.

Barr. Nmah, who stated this while addressing members of Egbeda Welfare Association (EWA) at Egbeda in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State last weekend, urged the youths to embrace peace in order that the community would develop rapidly.

Barr. Nmah, who hosted the association called on youths in the community to shun violence and other vices so that they could become useful members of the society.

He criticised the youths, who engaged in kidnapping and robbery and warned that a day of reckoning would come some day.

The legal practitioner told the youths to turn a new leaf.

Also speaking, the president of EWA, Mr George Enyindah encouraged members of the body to be committed in their obligation to the community. Mr Enyindah described EWA members as the cream of the society and urged them to put in their best in the service of the community.

Mr Enyindah, who is a neuropsychiatric nurse at the state hospital in Rumuigbo thanked the association for the co-operation given to him, while he served as the President of the body. He appointed Mr Christian Oyo, a civil servant attached to the State Ministry of Commerce as the Caretaker Committee Chairman, who would pilot the affairs of the group for the next three months.

Other members of the three-man committee are Martins Didi (secretary) and Odinaka Omereji (member).
