From All Africa-
The wife of the Bayelsa State Governor, Mrs. Alanyngi Sylva weekend met with Church leaders, members of the National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) and Politicians in the state to seek ways at improving the socio-economic and political status of women. She said that economic and political empowerment of women and young girls will reduce crime and cut down pressure on various levels of government.
Mrs. Alanyingi Sylva, said though the meetings and courtesy calls were ways used in re-evaluating empowerment efforts for women and young girls in the state, her Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) known as the centre for Gender Values and Culture has met with the office of the special adviser on gender empowerment for six-weeks training programme for women and a renewed partnership with church leaders to achieve set goals.
In three separate statements issued at the weekend and signed by the press secretary to the wife of the governor, Mrs. Wonifere Richard-Igiri Mrs. Sylva told the Wife of the Bishop of the Niger Delta West Diocese of the Anglican Communion, Mrs. Chinyere Oko-Jaja that a synergy and systematic coordination of activities between the state government and the church will lead to the achievement of certain goals.
