Rivers Women Pray Against Fire Disasters

Sequel to the series of fire outbreaks that ravaged some parts of Rivers State and claimed several lives and  property , women in Rivers State at the weekend in Government House held a special prayer session to seek God’s intervention.

The prayer summit was initiated by the wife of the Governor, Dame Judith Amaechi who charged wives of chairmen of local government areas to replicate such prayers in their areas of juridition.

Dame Amaechi stated that the recent petrol tanker fire disaster which claimed several lives and several other explosions in some parts of the state had caused tension in the state added that it was time to seek God’s intervention.

According to her, she said “the recent challenge in the state which has claimed so many lives requires urgent attention and we as women must seek the face of God”.

The governor’s wife charged wives of top government functionaries scheduled to travel for vacation with their children to cancel it and embark on enlightenment campaign on the danger of inflammable materials and explosives.

Mrs. Amaechi added that women are the worst hit during crisis and it behoves them to take their destiny in their hands in the interest of the state.

She urged women especially the elites and wives of top government functionaries to show love and assist the needy and the poor rather than indulging in frivolities.
