Women in Ogun State have held a special prayer programme for peace, good governance and sustainable development of the state, as well as individual prosperity of the people.

Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Adijat Adeleye, while speaking at the programme in Abeokuta, with the theme, “Akanse Adura, Ogun Women Prays For Omooba Dapo Abiodun and Engr. Noimot Salako- Oyedele”, emphasised the role of women in nation building.

Hon. Adeleye, according to the Ministry’s Press Officers, Folake Ogunboyejo & Tayo Olusanya, said the programme was organised by the Ministry to give women the opportunity to come together to pray in unity for successful governance and for the present administration to deliver on its electioneering promises, in order to further achieve the targeted developmental goals in the state.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Oluwaseyi Sokoya, said the essence of the prayer session was to acknowledge the supremacy of God on the state and the Ministry and to commit the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration and the entire indigenes of the state to the hands of God.
