As part of marking the annual Children’s Day celebration and World Menstrual Hygiene Day, my office in partnership with the Ministry of Women Affairs and Vulnerable Groups have organized visits to secondary schools in Imo State.
During the visit to Government Girls’ Secondary School, Okigwe Road, Owerri on June 1, 2023, the Honourable Commissioner for WAVG, Lady Nkechinyere Ugwu, told the students that their school was among the five thousand (5000) students that would be visited to commemorate the 2023 Children’s Day and World Menstrual Hygiene Day by the Ministry and the office of the Wife of the Governor of Imo State.
Hon. Ugwu ensured that the students were properly sensitized and educated on the need for proper menstrual hygiene management in their schools, the use of different pad products and to express the need for them to take good care of themselves, especially during their period. Each child was given 2 packs of disposable pads that would last for almost a year and some refreshments.
The Principal of the school, Mrs. Ngozi Nwosu, was a delightful host. She expressed her gratitude and said a prayer of appreciation for all.
Present during the visit were the Permanent Secretary, MWAVG, Mr. Godson Okeoma, Director of Child Services, MVAVG – Mr. Benjamin Amaefula, the Director of Women Affairs, Dr. (Mrs.) Blessing Azubuike, Mrs. Chinwe Nwokeji, and other staff members of the Ministry.
