Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, Ondo State First Lady and wife of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, says her husband who has been out of Nigeria for medical vacation would soon return to the country.
Mrs. Akeredolu, who quoted a line from R. Kelly song “the storm is over now and we are seeing the sunshine”, said: ‘All will end in praise’.
The Ondo First Lady spoke in her address at the opening of the 2023 BEMORE summer boot camp for 300 young girls in the State.
According to her: “It is another great time to formally welcome our new Bemore Girls into the big and beautiful Bemore family where talents are discovered and nurtured, skills are instilled; where girls are intentionally exposed to life-changing experiences and where we bring out the best in them.
“In the last six years, I have treasured this moment and its bounty harvests it affords me the chance to yearly re-give myself to a new set of sterling Nigerian girls through this incredible
platform.
“This, for me, is an exceptional opportunity to build these promising girls into confident, competent and worthy women who, in the fullness of time, will rewrite the narrative around womanhood.”
Ondo Acting Governor, Lucky Ayedatiwa, who also declared that the Governor would soon return, noted that BEMORE as the most potent machinery to impact the girl child.
Ayedatiwa said it turned out to be a successful idea to uplift females.
He praised the Ondo First Lady for what he termed a radical vision to transform the girl child and give them hope.
A former beneficiary of the programme, Christians Madu, said she recently got a N4m contract to install solar power system after her training at BEMORE camp.
