GOVERNOR Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has enjoined members of the public to support the Inner Wheel Club in its effort towards assisting women, children and other vulnerable members of the society.
Ugwuanyi spoke when he played host to members of the club led by its international president, Lady Oluyemisi Alatise, during their courtesy visit to inform him of the club’s annual conference and rally in Enugu.
The governor explained that the club was one of the largest women’s organisations in the world that continued to play a very crucial role in the improvement of lives of women, children and the disadvantaged in the society through the “many life changing projects and programmes carried out across the world”.
He also congratulated Lady Alatise on her emergence as the first African and Nigerian international president of the club, adding, “I receive you today not just as the governor of Enugu State but as a Rotarian and former President of the Rotary Club of Emene. Therefore, I am very much at home with the objectives of the Inner Wheel Club as well as the commendable service it has been rendering to humanity.”
The governor later assured the club of the full cooperation of his administration and urged other well meaning individuals and organisations to help the club attain its noble goals.
Earlier, the president of the Organisation, Lady Alatise, told the governor that they were at the Government House to inform him of their annual national conference in Enugu, as well as present her book highlighting the path to women’s progress.
