Mrs Fatima Momoh, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development in Kogi, has extended her support to Mrs Soje Ogori, a resident whose home was recently destroyed by fire in Ogori-Mangogo.
During her visit to the scene of the incident on Sunday, the commissioner donated relief materials, food supplies, and financial aid to the family in a show of compassion and commitment to social welfare.
Momoh explained that the gesture was part of the state government’s efforts to support vulnerable citizens and promote social inclusion.
While expressing sympathy for the victim, she lauded the leadership style of Gov. Ahmed Ododo, highlighting his commitment to creating a compassionate and inclusive governance structure.
She also commended the wife of the governor, Mrs Sefinat Ododo, for her relentless efforts in advancing the welfare of women and children across the state.
On behalf of the state government, the commissioner presented Soje, a widow and mother of three, with a sewing machine, clothing materials, bed sheets, essential food items, and monetary support.
“The relief materials and food items are aimed at enabling her to restart her tailoring business and regain financial stability.
“The support provided today is not just about relief, but about empowerment.
“We want to ensure that Soje regains her independence and can continue to provide for her children.
“The government will continue to monitor her progress and offer further assistance as needed,” Momoh said.
Momoh also lauded the resilience and unity of the women leaders in Ogori-Mangogo Local Government Area (LGA), urging them to continue working closely with the state government to uplift their communities.
