*Ighodalo salutes women on International Women’s Day, calls for increased investment in education and entrepreneurship for women*.

Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party’s flagbearer for the Edo Sept. 21, governorship election, has applauded the unbreakable spirit of the Edo Woman in the face of crushing economic hardship.

Dr. Ighodalo, who issued a statement to mark International Women's Day(IWD), said he marvels at the bravery, determination and can-do attitude of the Edo women as they work to build businesses, secure an education and support their homes despite rising inflation and economic uncertainty.

The theme of the United Nations (UN) 2024 International Women’s Day (IWD) celebration is 'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress.'

In his statement, Dr. Ighodalo remarked that “This year’s IWD theme - invest in women to accelerate progress - is an incontestable statement of fact. I have enjoyed personal and professional success from investments I have made in women; and back home in Ewohimi the scholarships we have provided to girls and the financial grants we have given to female entrepreneurs have been transformational; for them and for our community.

My belief in the transformational power of women on a societal level is why we visited markets, small female-owned business and the students at the School of Nursing in Benin; to listen to our women and encourage them. We cannot make any meaningful progress as a society if we do not empower our women with knowledge and with resources.

So I call on leaders in the public and private sector to bring more women to the table; and to back their words with real action in the form of increased financial support and access to opportunities for female students and business owners.”

Dr. Ighodalo’s week-long Women in Entrepreneurship Tour included stops at Oba market; a visit with the Chairman of Egor LG Council, Eghe Ogbemudia, to a dump evacuation site; Orhue Beauty (Makeup Saloon), EJ culinary school and the popular Mama Ebo Pepper Rice fast-food outlet. He also stopped at the Edo State Library Complex to support Osariemen Asein’s record-breaking Guinness World Record reading attempt; and concluded his tour with a visit to the School of Nursing in Benin.

What investments have Obaseki made since he was governor in employing teachers and other staff to make education free for all girls and boys

Kk

Did you know that more women/girls are more educated than men/boys presently in Nigeria.
It should be a good thing but even with the statistics Nigeria since to be depreciating the more.

I can’t even consent to women being given political leadership roles in Nigeria, the few ones we tried are far worse than their male counterparts. Sigh.

I feel like slapping the taste outta ur tongue. Una wan start with GBV narrative.....or Emilokan pattern. Emilokan pattern has destroyed Nigeria. People are dying,others are selling houses and trying to relocate at age 60 for the first time. So that hunger will not kill them. In Edo there's nobody's turn. Edo shall vote for who they believe, I repeat who they believe is competent. Every where is too fragile now to be saying it's someone turn... After 8 years, turn or Emilokan can come in..

I opened this post thinking it was written by Jude Ighalo

ALREADY BEHAVING LIKE A STATE GOVERNOR OR SIMPLY SEEKING A VERY CHEAP PUBLICITY?

Nothing is permanent expert the political fight of Godfather and Son....if you dont ge rit, forgera about rit.

The worst governor anyone needs now is the one with a godfather under a very tight allocation or piles of debts from previous administrations!
Edo should take a cue from states like abia where the combination of orji uzo kalu,theordore and ikpaeazu looted and embezzled the scarce allocation coming to the state for 24 years!
Anyone from Edo should bear it in mind that for real development to show up at the state,they must vote for a party or candidate that has no godfather!
