Presenting her address, the Owaza General Women Leader, Mrs. Blessing Chidiadi Chimaobi, pointed out that the annual meeting was not only a social gathering, but also an avenue for women to reflect on issues affecting their families and communities, acquire new ideas, and work collectively towards sustainable development.

He called for continued unity among the women and solicited their support for his ambition to represent the Ukwa East/Ukwa West Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.

He stressed that peace and unity remained essential ingredients for community development, noting that meaningful progress could only thrive in an atmosphere of harmony.
Nwogu further appealed to the women to support his candidacy in the February 2027 National Assembly election, assuring that he would consolidate the achievements recorded during his previous public service engagements.
