Plateau’s first lady, Helen Mutfwang, has called on women to embrace their unique roles and seize opportunities to lead and inspire change.

Ms Mutfwang made the call in Jos on Sunday.

The governor’s wife emphasised the divine potential of women to transform their lives, families and communities.

”We are not just women but vessels through which God can restore lives and take back territories. We must embrace this unique role and seize opportunities to lead and inspire change in society,” she said.

She commended Pastor Sarah Chintok for providing a platform for women to share, learn, and embrace their God-given potential.

“My gratitude goes to Pastor Sarah for her unwavering commitment to women’s empowerment. Your vision and leadership are a source of inspiration, and I acknowledge the role of faith in enabling women to overcome barriers and thrive,” she said.

The theme of the conference, she said, will provide women with the boundless possibilities available to those who trust in God.

Women’s empowerment, she said,  is not about rebellion but submission to God’s purpose.

She also commended the women of  Plateau for their strength and talents, noting their critical role in addressing societal challenges.

“Our state is blessed with women of immense virtue, and now more than ever, we need women who can rise above limitations and contribute to economic and spiritual transformation,” she said.
