CORPS MEMBER GETS TRADITIONAL TITLE FOR HELPING COMMUNITY

 25 year-old Micro Biology graduate from the Lagos State University, Odunayo Amosu, serving in Oyo State was  given the traditional title of Atunluse of Iseyinland by the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Ganiyu Adekunle Salau (JP), Ologunebi Ajinonse II, in appreciation of her commitment to empowering women in the local governement. 
Driven by her pet project tagged, ‘Women are great tools for community development', she trained a total of 86 women under the empowerment scheme on how to produce liquid wash, Izal,  stove thread, bleach, liquid air freshener etc. for five months and gave two of the participants two pepper grinders, with other materials to 15 women to start off their trade. In all, 20 women were provided with empowerment materials while all the participants got a training handout and a certificate each.

Amosu  also gave her widow’s mite to a widow, Mrs. Flourence Itua, whose story she read in a newspaper a few months ago. According to the story, Itua, who is based in Lagos, was about to be sent out of the house by her landlord over a year outstanding rent, “Touched by her plight, I gave her a popcorn machine with a sum of N25,000 to settle her rent,” she explained.

This is worthy of emulation, so proud of her.
