“We are out to encourage those women who dedicate their lives and are giving their all to make the world a better place by alleviating human suffering especially as it affects the girl child.”
The likes of DG of WTO Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Late Prof Dora Akunyili amongst others have done greatly, so women should be encouraged to come out and complement the work of the men instead of seeing them as belonging to the kitchen or other room. Women are even doing better than the men, she said
