The Women Wing Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) South-West Zone, is set to hold its 10th anniversary with the empowerment of women, awards presentations and investiture of dignitaries.
The four-in-one event with the theme, ‘Repositioning Women For Growth and Development’, is scheduled to hold from Wednesday, August 14 to Sunday, August 17, 2024 at the Apostolic Church of Nigeria, LAWNA Territory, Olorunda Ketu, Lagos State.
WOWICAN South-West chairperson, Most Senior Mother-in-Israel, Prophetess Odunola Raji-Adebesin, said the theme was influenced by the situation in the country and prevailing out-dated perceptions about women’s roles, stressing that the dignity of women deserved due recognition and positive appraisal.
Posited she: “Without mincing word, the position of women in any social organisation cannot be underrated and overestimated because, by divine work of God, women are so important because of their meaningful contributions to the success of any association, organisation, family, church and communities.
“Women are precious ornaments and magnificent creatures that are always ready to sacrifice whatever they have for the growth and development of wherever they find themselves. Hence, the need for them to be duly recognised”.
Stated she while speaking further on the recognition of women’s involvement in decision making:”I want leaders at all levels to consider women in decision-making, especially in the sharing of positions either political or spiritual because what a man can do a woman can do better”.
On the state of the state of the nation, she noted that it was extremely bad, advising the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stand firm and take decisive steps in alleviating the suffering of the people especially in terms of hunger, unemployment and security.
