The title, which translates to “Jewel of Empowerment” in Igbo, was given to her by traditional rulers in Enugu State during her working visit on Tuesday. The ceremony was attended by
political figures, women’s groups, traditional leaders, and community members, celebrating the First Lady’s initiatives to improve the lives of women and vulnerable populations in the country. During her visit, she distributed professional kits to midwives through her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
