Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike has stated that women’s positive contributions form the platform for the development of the society.
Justice Nyesom-Wike also said that women are divinely wired to do more at all times for societal growth and stability.
She spoke, yesterday at the 10th Biennial Diocesan Women’s Guild Conference and thanksgiving service of Anglican Diocese of the Niger Delta North at Saint Thomas Anglican Church in Diobu, Port Harcourt.
She said as a woman, she belongs to all rooms because a woman’s activities cannot be restricted as the society needs these contributions for progress.
“All women have been through a lot as they strive to build the society. Our contributions to societal development cannot be underestimated.
“I belong to the kitchen, I belong to the living room, and I belong to every room created by God. So, also are other women. We are created by God to do more. In my own case as a judicial officer, I also belong to the courtroom. Other women belong to different rooms, depending on their professional calling”, she said.
She added: “Women are very important to the development of any community. They form a larger percentage of the workforce that keeps the society”.
