Mrs Toyin Saraki, Wife of the
President of the Senate, has called on the Umu Ada Di Igbo (UDIM) Mma, a
socio-economic group, to promote national peace and unity among women.
Saraki,
who was represented by the wife of Sen. Bassey Albert, at the Inauguration of
the UDIM on Sunday in Abuja, noted that women remain an
integral part of any nation.
She
urged the group to focus on the goal which is to promote the sense of unity
among its members, develop healthy matrimonial relationships, prevent all forms
of abuse and promote youth awareness for development.
According
to Saraki, women are the nation’s builders, they will deliver in promoting the
economic, cultural and social growth of mothers and babies.
I
am pleased to identify with the UDIM group, and I have no doubt these great
women in this organisation will give these noble goals their best.
Toyin
appealed to the UDIM to be united in purpose as they work towards improving the
lives of women and the less privileged in the society.
The
former governor of Anambra State, Mr Chukwumemeka Ezeife, also charged the
women to make nation’s building a priority. Ezeife
said that women were hardworking people and committed to any course they
embarked on.
This
is a time we need, our mothers, our wives, our sisters to contribute to the
development of our place. Our
place is in need of development, our men sometimes sell out, but the women are
dogged, consistent, very reliable and very encouraging people.
Speaking
at the event, the National Coordinator of UDIM, Mrs Beauty Iheaka, said that
the aim of the association was to promote unity among igbo women of the seven
Eastern States of Nigeria.
In
this great organisation, we are aiming to lead our people to cross the
boundaries of mere good, so that everyone could become great in whatever they
do.
Iheaka
said that the group also believes in the possibility of inspiring others to
achieve greatness and live in it. She
also said that the association would engage in more charity works and impacting
on the society.
She
said, UDIM, is a non-profit, non-political organisations with headquarters in
USA with the soul purpose of promoting igbo sisterhood, igbo culture, heritage
and unity.
