Championing the Cause of Widows – Her Excellency, Mrs. Eunice Ukamaka Egwu
Most politicians and their spouses only remember the less privileged when they are in the office or vying for one, and more often than not, projects to empower the less privilege end with their political tenure. Her Excellency, Mrs Eunice Ukamaka Egwu, wife of the first Executive Governor of Ebonyi State is of a different league. With an inherent desire to reach out to the needy, Mrs Eunice Egwu has been silently touching the lives of widows and the less privileged long before she became the First Lady of Ebonyi State, and is still touching the lives of these vulnerable ones, years after leaving that office. The editor of the Amazons Watch Magazine and part of her team caught up with Mrs Egwu in her Abuja office, where she gave more insight on her philanthropic pursuits, and challenges of women in leadership positions.
