The wife of Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Patience Umo Bassey Eno, has expressed optimism that she hopes the women will take advantage of the Rural Development component of her dear husband’s ARISE Agenda, to attain economic self – reliance.
Pastor Eno made her thoughts known when she led some Female Stakeholders to the Ancient city of Ikot Abasi to celebrate the first anniversary of the All Women of Ikot Abasi Noble Assembly (AWOIKANA).
AWOIKANA which is a prayer group of the Vigorous Women International Ministry that works with female Stakeholders in the Local Government Council to pray and intercede for the land has as a theme of the anniversary “Ebenezer! My stone of Help.”
The first Lady who described the women’s joy as infectious said she joined them in several sessions of praise and worship, adding that the theme resonates with her and her family.
As she called on the women to take advantage of the features of the celebration which are prayers and worship, Pastor Eno said Prayer is communion with our Creator and that when we pray, we engage in loving fellowship with the Maker of heaven and earth.
Skilled pastor that she is, the first Lady admonished that their goal in worship should be to worship God only according to the Lord’s prescriptions, thanking the organisers and Female Stakeholders in Ikot Abasi, ably coordinated by Evangelist Becky Udom for doing well with the women.
