Happy Birthday OGECHUKWU NWODO!

Published

on

Oge, as she is fondly called by family and friends, is the beautiful, humane and good-natured wife of the Chairman of Igbo-Etiti local government area of Enugu State, Hon. Ikenna Nwodo.

She is a woman who does everything a good wife does and even much more, when it comes to being available to her people. She is undeniably visible, active and reliably that much needed rallying point for the womenfolk of Igbo-Etiti, who are effectively part of the good governance in the state, in making the most of opportunities the First Lady of the state Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, has consistently made available.

Recently, when she hosted the first lady in the local government, as they toured, she was in the front, galvanizing the women as she also canvased so much for the children as well as other vulnerable members of her community.

Mrs. Ogechukwu Nwodo was not just performing her official functions. She was just being herself, that woman who cares for and loves her people whole heartedly.  

Join us to wish a beautiful Happy Birthday to this amazon and paragon of goodness!
