Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
A group under the aegis of Rivers Women Unite for SIM has intensified efforts to promote economic self-reliance through skills acquisition programmes aimed at improving the livelihoods of women across Rivers State.
The group expressed the determination to empower over 50,000 women from across the 23 local government areas with various skills acquisition.
The women group made this known during their monthly prayer meeting yesterday, held at the Ecumenical Centre in Port Harcourt, where they stressed the need for women to develop practical skills to cope with the nation’s changing economic realities.
Speaking on the theme, ‘Praise, Purpose and Productivity: Giving Thanks, Gaining Skills, Building Futures’, participants said the initiative was designed to encourage women to pursue economic independence and strengthen their capacity to support their families amid prevailing economic challenges.
