Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South LGA, April 10, 2025 – Rita Daniel Single Parenthood and GirlChild Initiative, in collaboration with Regina Daniels Foundation, has celebrated outstanding and influential women who have done well for themselves in Delta State.
The celebration by the foundation, in a two-day event tagged Accelerate in Action: A Celebration, featured different groups of women across Delta North celebrating themselves, deepening the discourse on the role of women in national development and the need for women to build their capacity and acquire simple skills that will make them financially secured and successful.
Speaking during the celebration, Chief Hon. Rita Daniels Chukwuji said that she was overwhelmed to see the large numbers of women both far and near at the celebration.
Chukwuji added that she would be in support of the women when called upon them anytime, any day and promised to carry them along.
Speaking further, she said the event is to celebrate women who have done well and give back to women who are still struggling to reach their peak.
According to her, the event also celebrated ‘He-for-Shes’, the men who have made outstanding contributions to women
Mrs Regina Nwoko, on the other hand, advised the women to keep supporting themselves.
She emphasized that it is time to get more women as leaders in all spheres of life and, therefore, called for women to aspire for leadership positions.
On her part, Mrs Debbie Abinoma, an Educationist and one of the guest speakers, said the event was apt and highlighted that for many years, there had been talks about women’s rights with several declarations and that the time is now for the empowerment of women.
She said it has become necessary for women to do things that will empower women and deepen their political engagement.
She also called for more Nigerian women to always take advantage of activities and engagements organised solely for them saying that this year’s theme is apt and validates the role of women in national development.
The Guest speaker on Healthcare, Mrs Omozuma Eki Christiana, Principal Nursing Officer, Federal Medical Centre, Asaba Delta State, calls on women to exercise their body system at all times, check their Blood Pressure, Sugar Tests and other medical fitnesses which will reduce the body from being sick.
Speaking at the event, Member Representing Aniocha/Oshimili in the National Assembly, Senator. Ned Nwoko, in his address, said that the Governor of Delta State, Elder Sheriff Oborevwori, has warned his exco members to stay away from Anioma’s creation agenda.
Nwoko added that the drama started when he raised the motion of creating an Anioma state at the national assembly, which he believes to be a welcome development to the good people of Anioma, Delta State.
He said that immediately after the motion was raised at the hallow chambers, the governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori and his PDP party faithful started raising eyebrows at him.
The lawmaker maintained that Sheriff Oborevwori made it clear that any commissioner who was in support of the animal creation agenda would be sacked from office.
He noted that he decided to leave the PDP party as a member and decamped to the APC party as a carried member and has gotten support from the animal son/daughter in the animal creation agenda.
Nwoko maintained that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and other national assembly members are in support of the animal creation agenda, which has passed the first reading and other processes at the hallow chambers.
He calls on all Anioma faithful to come out en mass to support him and that all hands must be on deck for the betterment of Anioma/Delta State
He commended Hon Rita Daniels for organizing the event, especially in the area of capacity building and thanked the group for coming together to celebrate themselves
He said that those items given out to the beneficiaries will add more value to them if used properly and will reduce the number of hardships from them.
A beneficiary of the sewing machine, Mrs. Okonkwo Tracy, who spoke with journalists at the event, thanked Chief Hon. Rita Daniels Chukwuji for supporting them with those items.
She added that the sewing machine will help her business grow from strength to strength and also take care of her family, promising to use the sewing machine carefully and joyfully.
The high point of the event was the presentation of hair dryers, Grounding Machines, Ovens, Sewing machines and Hand Blenders to deserving women and girl children who came to the Event through the foundation.
