The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has donated the
sum of N300 million to the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO.
Governor Wike announced the donation at the ongoing 22nd
National Women’s Conference (NWC) holding in Lagos.
The donation is coming on the backdrop of recent devastating
flood that has submerged some communities in the State, rendering thousands
homeless, and without food.
Recall that over 200 communities in four local councils of
Rivers State, namely – Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA), Ahoada West, Ahoada East and
Abual Odual – have been displaced by ravaging flood.
In an address at the occasion, Wike said the involvement of
women in politics and decision-making in Lagos State is what is making it
continue to set the pace in the country.
He said he was amazed at all that COWLSO is doing in Lagos
State and promised to replicate all that he had learnt from the conference in
his State as well.
Governor Wike also used the opportunity to declare total
support for the re-election bid of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in
the 2023 general elections.
