The Vice Chancellor, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike, Professor Ursula Ngozi-Akanwa, has charged Abia women to leverage on empowerment programmes of the state to thrive in their businesses and not merely to survive.
Ngozi-Akanwa spoke while delivering the keynote address during the Abia Women August Delegate Conference, (AWADEC) 2026.
She said that the 2026 theme, ‘Abia Women: Empowered to Thrive’, marks the culmination of a deliberate four-year journey by the initiative to educate the women on how to grow their businesses.
Ngozi-Akanwa commended the wife of the Governor of Abia State Mrs Priscilla Otti, for her “relentless effort towards women’s development” in the state.
