The National Secretariat of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) has received with rude shock news of the death of Her Excellency, Pastor Mrs Patience Umo Eno, wife of the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State.
The association is saddened by this development, but take solace in the fact that while she lived, she worked hard in the service of the Almighty God, tilling the Vineyard and bringing solace to humanity through several good deeds.
Her Excellency Pst Patience Umo Eno impacted positively on women, the girl-child and family institutions at large through her pet project, Golden Initiative For All (GIFA), targeted at enhancing the lives of men, women, children, youths and vulnerable persons in the society and made several gains for women on Gender Development and Peace initiatives.
We condole His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, the rest of her family, the good people of Akwaibom State and all her well wishers.
While wishing her immediate family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, we also join all those in the frontline of Advocacy for women empowerment, gender inclusion and parity to mourn Her Excellency and wish her soul peaceful repose.
