Uyo Wife of Akwa Ibom State governor, Mrs. Martha Udom Emmanuel, has advised female youths in the State to shun the get-rich-quick syndrome and unhealthy competition.
Mrs. Emmanuel who gave the advice yesterday when she
hosted the leaders of Akwa Ibom Female Youths at the Banquet Hall Government
House Uyo, urged them to rather imbibe the right virtues of contentment,
self-discipline and dignity.
She frowned at the dangerous trends of promiscuity;
nudity and obscene language being bandied on social media by youths were not
encouraging, stating that they must henceforth become the change agents in the
society.
She thanked the group for their steadfast support
towards the present administration, and appealed that the support should be
sustained.
Her words, “As female youths, you must understand
that you are the future mothers of this state. What we are doing is to groom
and prepare you for leadership when the time comes. But we will not achieve that if your character
is questionable.
“You must be
well cultured in dressing, attitude, and speaking as future mothers and leaders.
Be upright, harness your talents, potentials, and channel your youthful energy
into positive ventures.
“I want you all present here to become mentors to
our female children in your respective communities. By so doing you will be
building a society that is anchored on sound morals. Be good ambassadors by
your actions and endeavour to leave indelible marks for posterity sake,”
In his remarks, the Senior Special Assistant to the
Governor on Youth Matters, Comrade Aniefiok Iwaudofia while speaking, commended
the current administration for its commitment towards the development of Akwa
Ibom youths.
“In the history of youth politics in the state,
we’ve never had a group of female youths until the gender-friendly the administration led by Mr. Udom Emmanuel came into office and provided a platform for all female youths to excel. This is highly commendable. “, he
said.
