…sensitizes them on hand washing

The wife of Enugu State Governor, Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, has advised parents and guardians to cultivate the culture of healthy living and proper hygiene in their families to reduce the risk of exposing their children and loved ones to communicable diseases.

Mrs. Ugwuanyi gave the advice during the event marking this year’s Global Hand Washing Day in Enugu organized by her pet project, Ugo’s Touch of Life Foundation at Amechi Primary School, Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area.

Speaking further, the governor’s wife emphasized the importance of proper hand washing especially among children, stressing that such measure will go a long way to enhance their health status.

She added that the theme of the event, “Clean Hands for All” was carefully chosen by her foundation to sensitize school children on proper hygiene and hand washing practices.

Mrs. Ugwuanyi, therefore, urged them to always endeavor to wash their hands with soap before and after eating, after easing themselves, before cooking or touching cooking utensils as she also advised them never to clean their hands with towel after washing.

The Enugu governor’s wife also harped on the need for enabling environment for children irrespective of their gender disparity, saying: “Time has gone when a girl child was discriminated against in academic pursuit. We are in the 21st century. Every child irrespective of gender is entitled to education”.

According to her, “girls should strive to study science courses such as engineering, medicine, mathematics, computer science, among others. This is the era we call STEM, which means, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Girls should strive to study medicine and shun the previous phobia entrenched in these courses”.

In his address, the President-General of Amechi, Awkuwanaw and former Commissioner for Environment, Hon. John Egbo, lauded Mrs. Ugwuanyi for her commitment to the wellbeing of the people of the state especially women, children and vulnerable groups.

Hon. Egbo equally applauded Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for the development projects his administration has executed in the area, such as the ongoing construction of Amechi and Amechi Uno bridge, noting that the gesture will go a long way to enhance their living standard. He went further to commend the governor for the effective measures being put in place by his administration to strengthen the security of the state and protect lives and property.

“We are happy to welcome Her Excellency to Amechi for this hand washing day event. Your Excellency, God will continue to bless you and your husband. His Excellency has done a lot for us. Our security guards are working; our neighborhood watch members are working; our place is secured and the police are also patrolling. Work is ongoing at the bridge linking us with Amechi Uno. Gov. Ugwuanyi has truly done much for us”.

Enugu State is truly in the hands of God. ##

Whatever happened to the days of relentless preaching hand sanitizers?

I thought Teachers do teach all this in schools

Ok that's nice move


But there are thousands of children there in the rural communities that haven't known the city

Thousands hustling out their lives through hawking on the street from sun rise to dusk without having a bath.

Please madam first lady help them

It can be irritating watching road side vendors rushing to sell market witout washing their hands and probably they might be attending to their baby's poo before you came in. A lot of Nigerian's are not conscious of hygiene

That's nice anyway.... But our government have failed us. Imagine fire ravaging lives and properties for over two hours in ANAMBRA without any sight of fire service presense.....!!


I weep for my country!

We are doomed!

This is something the health sector should do on a monthly basis. Go to schools and educate both children and adults about hygiene.

Another thing they should teach all Nigerians is CPR, so that they can be able to resuscitate people and save lives in emergency situations.

How can they wash their hands when they don't have water, they don't wash ordinary traditional black soap, and they don't even have toilets. It is like telling pigs in the swine to learn to keep clean.

She could have claimed billions from the public coffers for this useful appearance, and that is all she is Nigeria in like the rest her gang members called politicians and their cohorts in Nigeria.

OEPHIUS is Enugu1stSon

aka Ansmedia is for Anambra

Where is Imo, Abia and Ebonyi 1st Sons (Or media handlers of those Governors)

Lol! Enugu that runs out of water at the same time every year and she is apparently powerless to do anything about it

Even the wells will run dry or start producing stinky green water full of parasites. Nonsense and cooking utensils

Monica is always trying to leap when all she has to do is crawl! Another Avenue to show off her new clothing
*Shrugs*

Thank you, our amiable First Lady.
Proud 042.
