The wife of the chairman of Bwari Area Council, Mrs. Tamar Peter Yohanna Ushafa, has been turbaned as the Gimbiyan Jibi, a community in Bwari Area Council in recognition of her philanthropic activities in the council.
The ceremony was performed by the village head of Jibi, Chief Abdullahi Madaki, who extolled the humanitarian gestures of the council chairman's wife to various communities in the council.
He said Mrs. Ushafa has been involved in charity work ever since her husband's assumption of office as the chairman of the council.
Some of her work, according to him, include empowerment of 100 youths and training on skill acquisition in Bwari, empowerment of widows through provision of foodstuff and improving their means of livelihood, and free medical treatment for the less privileged through her NGO, Shekwoyeyedu Foundation.
Responding, Mrs. Yohanna dedicated the title to God for divine inspiration, and her husband for his support.
She emphasised the need to encourage and increase more girl child enrollments in schools in the Area Council.
This, according to her would give the girl child equal opportunities like her male counterpart and also enhance her development.
She assured that she would continue to encourage girl child education in the Area Council while dedicating the title given to her to all the children and women in the Area Council whose lives according to her she is out to protect and enhance.
"We shall be committed in our resolve to encourage and increase more girl child enrolment in schools. Women and youth empowerment shall be given adequate attention as well in and around Jibi community" she said.
She noted that the title given to her Gimbiyan Jibi which means Princess of Jibi was a testimony and a feedback that the programs of her office are people oriented.
"This will serve as a catalyst and impetus for me to continue to promote improvement in the living standard of our people across Bwari Area Council. This will propel us to consolidate on the gains we have recorded since our assumption of office," she noted.
