The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has urged female workers to make meaningful impact in their respective areas of duty.
Lagos NULGE President, Mr Sunday Ogunforowa, gave the advice during the NULGE Women Summit, themed: ‘Gathering of the Amazons: Women in NULGE, the Pride of Unionism’, held at Ojo Local Government Area on Tuesday.
Ogunforowa said being impactful required continuous learning and relearning, which made the summit a vital platform for the women.
He urged participants to take advantage of the summit to gain knowledge and prepare themselves better for their roles.
According to him, the event aimed to fulfil NULGE’s promise to empower women through meaningful learning and capacity development.
“If we call you Amazons, then live up to that name as true Amazons of NULGE in Lagos State.
“I want your impact felt not only in NULGE, Lagos, but across other unions. Be proud to belong to NULGE,” Ogunfowora said.
Giving his goodwill message, Ojo Local Government Chairman, Mr Idowu Rosulu, urged female staff to apply the knowledge gained from the summit.
Rosulu commended the NULGE president’s commitment to female empowerment through the well-organised summit.
“Let us leave this summit more informed and better prepared than when we arrived,” he said.
NULGE’s National Auditor, Rashidat Olukoga, described women as strong, beautiful, intelligent, and valuable — truly deserving the title of Amazons.
Olukoga encouraged female workers to always strive for excellence in all their tasks and responsibilities. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
