In a recent video, Minister of Women Affairs Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye expressed outrage over an event organized by her ministry without her knowledge or consent. The event lacked focus on women’s empowerment, prompting Kennedy-Ohanenye to issue a stern warning to the organizers.
Kennedy-Ohanenye interrupted the event, emphasizing her disapproval of the lack of empowerment components in the program. She stressed that future events must include substantial empowerment activities for women, rather than mere seminars and workshops that do not address critical issues like poverty and hunger.
The Minister criticized the wasteful expenditure on events that do not contribute to meaningful change, highlighting the need for judicious use of government funds. Despite potential backlash, Kennedy-Ohanenye declared her readiness to be misunderstood and even criticized for her stance, emphasizing her commitment to changing the narrative and ensuring that government programs have a tangible impact on Nigerians’ lives.
Kennedy-Ohanenye’s remarks were clear and forceful, underscoring her determination to ensure that government initiatives align with her vision of empowering women and addressing broader issues of poverty and hunger in Nigeria.
