..As wife distributes Sanitary Pads to the girl-child
The chairman of Mbaitoli Local Government Hon. Ifunanya Nwanego has assured that his administration will continue to champion youth empowerment and development in the overall best interest of the area.
He said Governor Hope Uzodimma had turned things around in Mbaitoli and thereby made governance easy to such an extent that the people are now rejoicing.
He expressed excitement at the humanitarian gesture of His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma and his wife Barr. Chioma Uzodimma, saying that their love for the people of Imo is infectious.
The chairman who said this during the distribution of Sanitary Pads to female students from the secondary Schools in Mbaitoli by his wife Mrs. Lebechi Nwanego at the council headquarters said the gesture was overwhelming.
Nwanego insisted that his administration has impacted positively on the people, stressing that there is no section of Mbaitoli that has not felt the impact of his presence and that he is still out to do more.
The chairman maintained that he will continue to encourage the youths because he believes that tomorrow begins today hence those who will pilot the affairs of Mbaitoli today must be prepared ahead of that task.
Earlier the wife of the Chairman Mrs. Lebechi Nwanego said the aim of the distribution of the Sanitary Pads to the girl-child is aimed at alleviating the embarrassment and shame that confronts them during the period.
She emphasised that when the girl-child is confident the sky is the limit, adding that the period when a girl skips school because of the menstrual period will no longer be tolerated.
According to her the visionary leadership of the Federation First Lady Sen. Oluremi Tinubu and that of Imo State Barr. Chioma Uzodimma has impacted positively and that the gesture of Sanitary Pads will not be forgotten in a hurry.
Mrs. Nwanego advised the beneficiaries to always remember that government is interested in their well-being and that they should no longer feel ashamed of their flow period because it is what makes them women.
Furthermore, she charged them to refrain from looking forward to the flow period, saying it is not a sickness that should be avoided but a time to know that God made them special.
Also lending her voice, the winner of the Miss Imo pageant, Miss Nwanego said the girl-child must understand the power imbued in them by God, hence they must always see themselves as Special.
The highlight of the event was a dance competition by all the schools present after which the chairman awarded cash prices to the winner and runner up.
