Anambra first lady unfolds empowerment programme

The wife of the newly elected Anam­bra State Governor, Lady Ebele Obiano, over the weekend announced that she would assist no fewer than 5,210 indigent women in the state to set up small-scale businesses this month.
Speaking at the Women De­velopment Centre in Awka on the occasion of the 2014 Moth­ers Summit, Mrs Obiano said the proposed intervention was part of her pet project, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFE), with equal number of beneficiaries drawn from each of the 177 communities in the state.
She also said that about 2,655 vulnerable children would benefit from her wel­fare scheme, while 1,416 physically challenged persons would receive succour under the scheme.
Speaking on the theme of the summit, 'Women and Progress in Anambra: A Prior­ity Agenda', Obiano observed that despite the roles women played in the society, their healthcare and other needs were not readily available and affordable.
She said for this reason, the CAFE had embarked on the provision of life-saving kits to expectant mothers and the dis­tribution of cancer testing kits to women for early detection of breast cancer.
She said the intervention would widen the scope and number of beneficiaries in the years ahead

The Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, on Wednesday in Abuja said international terror organizations use female suicide bombers in attacks because they are less suspicious. Mr. Mba, who was answering questions at the National Information Centre, said the use of females in suicide attacks is not new. “Established international terror organisations use female suicide bombers, the major reason is because women generally raise fewer suspicion, particularly when there are security layers. “If you have been following the trend of terrorism worldwide, you will understand that the use of a female suicide bomber is not new. “But, it is a new trend in our own part of the world”, he said. The force spokesperson, however, said a new counter-terrorism strategy was being developed to address the new trend in the country. “We are developing counter-terrorism strategies to deal with that. “By our rules of engagement and by our culture too, male security operatives ...
