Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has joined other well-meaning Imolites and Nigerians at large to congratulate Dr. (Mrs.) Dorothy Nnaji on her victory as Chairperson Nigerian Association of Women Journalists, Imo chapter.
Mrs. Nnaji won overwhelmingly with 50 votes to defeat her opponent, Ms. Chika Ewurum, who got only a vote, on Tuesday.
In a statement signed by Oguwike Nwachuku, Chief Press Secretary/Special Adviser (Media) to the Governor said his principal was pleased to hear that Mrs. Nnaji is the first person in the history of the Imo State NAWOJ to be reelected for a second term in office by her colleagues, noting that it shows how committed she is to the affairs of the body.
Governor Uzodimma said he was not surprised Mrs. Nnaji broke the record of reelection as NAWOJ chair in Imo State having demonstrated leadership and partnership traits since she entered into
the saddle of this noble professional body.
He therefore advised Mrs. Nnaji to be magnanimous in victory by carrying all her colleagues along, including those who vied for the same office with her.
Governor Uzodimma assured the Nnaji-led NAWOJ executive in particular and members in general, of government’s preparedness to partner with them in the interest of the profession they cherish so much, and that of the society they set out to mirror at large.
