The leadership of the Ondo state chapter of the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) has described the state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as a great pillar behind the organisation.
The executives gave the commendation during a courtesy visit to the governor in his office in Akure on Wednesday.
In her opening remarks, state president of the association, Mrs Oluwaseyi Odusola, thanked the governor for implementing pro-women policies since assuming office and for appointing more women to cabinet positions.
She also thanked Governor Aiyedatiwa for supporting the state chapter of the association for the last conference held in Abuja, saying “you have done well for Ondo women and we are indeed proud of you”
Odusola appealed to the state government for more support, including a request for provision of some hectares of land for farming, inclusion of NCWS members in palliative distribution and their involvement in other programs at the local government level.
In his reaction, the governor, who was represented by his deputy, Olayide Adelami, commended the organisation for playing a critical role in nation building and for their support for his administration.
He urged NCWS to continue to promote harmony among the womenfolk, assuring them of his administration’s unwavering support.
The deputy governor was joined by Secretary to the State Government, Dr Taiwo Fasoranti, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Prince Segun Omojuwa and the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr Adekola Falohun, among others.
