The Christian Association of Nigeria Women Wing (WOWICAN), Idemili North Chapter, Anambra State, has commended the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo for its strides in infrastructure development, educational transformation and the provision of free education across the state.
The chapter’s Coordinator, Arc. Ugochi Aniakor, made the commendation in her presidential address at the 2026 Annual Women’s Convention held at St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Church, Nkpor, on Aug. 24.
Arc. Aniakor, however, urged the state government to pay greater attention to rural road networks in some local government areas. She also appealed for increased youth employment and empowerment opportunities, alongside stronger support for women-owned Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Speaking on the theme, “Preserving the Truth in a Compromised Age,” the guest speaker, Barr. Mercy Ndubuisi, charged women to uphold truth, remain steadfast in their christian faith and serve as positive examples in society.
The sub-themes, “Wise Woman: Building the Nation” and “Empowering the Male Child in a Contemporary Society,” underscored the significant roles women play as mothers, mentors, community builders and nation builders.
Barr. Ndubuisi stressed that women have a crucial responsibility to raise responsible children and contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of their communities and the nation at large.
The convention featured free medical check-ups and a health talk organised by Ritatina Foundation, presentation of awards, skill acquisition training, as well as the launch of youth and women empowerment initiatives.
Bioferox International Company also supported the event through its natural health products initiative, with participants benefiting from various health, empowerment and capacity-building activities.
