The Special Adviser to Governor Aiyedatiwa on Women Affairs, Dr. Seun Osamaye has said that the state government is set to empower 1000 women in the state.

The Special Adviser was speaking while playing host to members of the National Council for Women Societies led by the President, Bishop(Mrs) Oluseyi Oluwakemi Odusola.

Dr. Osamaye said having the team in her office as the first courtesy call signifies their readiness to key into the various programmes and policies of the present administration to improve lives of women across the state.

“We shall reach out women irrespective of their location. It is our responsibility and I want to say again that your coming at this time shows how strategic and relevant you are”.

The Special Adviser said as a member of the National Council for Women Societies, she is aware of the links and the contacts of the group with women groups and assured that government is prepared to partner the council to empower women in the 18 local government areas of the state.
