FCT NAWOJ Felicitates With Dr. Ramatu Tijani on Her Coronation, 51st Birthday
The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), FCT Chapter, has felicitate with the Hon. Minister of State FCT, Dr. Ramatu Tijani Aliyu, on her coronation as the Onyize of Ebiraland (Mother of Wealth) by His Royal Majesty, Dr. Ado Ibrahim (CoN), the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
The Minister was conferred with the title on Saturday at the Azad Palace Okene, Kogi State, amidst celebration and encomium from party leaders, members, and supporters of the Kogi-born politician.
The female Journalists in a press statement by the Chairperson, Comrade Annah Daniel, in Abuja said the Minister deserves the recognition given her, following her contributions to Kogi State and Nigeria as a whole.
“The recognition of the Minister by her people is a testimony of her dedication as the Minister of State FCT and her contributions to the development of the society
“Also, this recognition has changed the belief that a prophet is not recognised in her home
“Indeed, this ‘prophetess’ has been recognised and will certainly encourage and inspire many, especially women in our male dominated society”
The Association’s Chairperson also felicitated with the Minister on her 51st birthday and prayed God to bless and continue to endow her with wisdom and knowledge to discharge her duties even more effectively with the fear of God.
Comrade Annah noted that Dr. Ramatu has represented the Nigerian women effectively and has been an inspiration to many young Nigerians, especially the girl-child.
“Her antecedent as former Woman Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President of the Council of African Political Parties (CAPP) continues to inspire more women to join politics and take up positions of authority in government”
She urged the Minister to keep up the spirit and continue with empowerment of the less privileged, especially widows and vulnerable women and wishes her the best in her endeavours.
