…We are ready to partner with you in this regard – Jacob Abai
By Magdalene Agbadamashi
As part of their resolve to give back to the community, female graduates of Gbaramatu kingdom extraction have resolved that pulling together their resources in order to promote girl–child education in the kingdom remain their preoccupation.
Operating under the aegis of the National Association of Gbaramatu Female Graduates (NAGFG), the group led by its President, Mrs. Endurance Bekenawei Nwachukwu, stated this during a courtesy visit to the GbaramatuVoice Newspaper corporate headquarters in Warri on Wednesday.
Speaking at the occasion, the group’s President explained that they are poised as a body to take the Gbaramatu Kingdom girls, via education, to the next level so that they compete favourably with their peers the world over and through that process become the leading voices in the community.
Nwachukwu pointed out that the group started as a student body but have since metamorphosed into an organized body that is out to empower the girl-child through education.
In her words, “we have come a long way. We started as a gathering of the National Association of Gbaramatu Female Students, and after graduation, we parted ways. But now, we have found it important to come together and form a formidable tie and contribute our quota towards the development of our dear community.
“Our aim,” she added “is to educate and encourage the female child in the society on the importance of education.”
That, she stressed, informed their visit to the GbaramatuVoice as they are aware of its leading role in this regard.
Responding, the Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of GbaramatuVoice Newspaper, Mr Jacob Abai, thanked the group for the visit and assured the GbaramatuVoice willingness to partner with them and other well-meaning groups in promoting the girl child education in the community.
Abai further urged the group to remain resolute in their resolve to take the girl-child in Gbaramatu kingdom to the next level while adding that the calibre of the people leading the group is capable of achieving this stated goal.
Other members of the association who accompanied Mrs. Endurance Bekenawei Nwachukwu on the visit were Mrs Otutufegha Ebi Glory, Vice President; Yerinmene Ebi Edi, Secretary; Keniye Endurance, Treasurer; Amrophe Pere Lovely, Public Relations Officer.
Others were Esther Gbende, Bifugha Linda, Zibomoghan Divine, Endurance Bebenimibo, Piniki Deborah, Anthony Blessing Pudie, Emotimide Preye, Itima Francisca, and Itima Rachael.
