This was contained in a statement by the First Lady’s Deputy Media Assistant, Bridget Jumbo.
She noted that the theme of this year’s celebration represents the true essence of the push for gender equality which is hinged on inspiring inclusion, as well as the captivating slogan “Investing in Women, Accelerate Progress”.

She, therefore, called on women to always be resolute in what they do to impact the society positively, and to be bright lights that shine on everyone on all fronts and in all of life’s endeavours.
She also reiterated her support for her husband’s endeavours in enhancing the quality of life for women and affirming family values in Rivers State.
