The Rivers State Ministry of Women Affairs, in partnership with Christ Embassy, Port Harcourt, has launched a one-month empowerment programme for women in Rivers State, themed “Success Motivation.”
The ongoing training initiative, championed by the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, and his wife, Valeria Fubara, is designed to equip women and young girls with practical skills to help them achieve their personal and professional goals.
Speaking at the event, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs. Ihuoma P. Ray-Boms, expressed appreciation to the Governor and his wife for providing the platform through the ministry to empower women across the state.

She explained that the training would be conducted in batches to accommodate as many participants as possible.
The first batch is currently underway, with subsequent batches scheduled to follow.
According to the Permanent Secretary, each batch will undergo a month-long intensive training at the Women’s Skills and Acquisition Hall within the ministry’s complex.
At the end of the programme, participants will receive equipment, materials, and grants to enable them establish their own businesses and effectively showcase the skills acquired.
The training covers a wide range of vocational and entrepreneurial skills, including fashion designing, perfume production, catering services, and graphic design.
The programme, which is open to interested young women who wish to acquire skills in their chosen fields, is facilitated by Pastor Earldon Daniel of Christ Embassy Church.
In his opening remarks, Pastor Daniel encouraged participants to remain committed and diligent throughout the training, noting that attendance would be strictly monitored.
He assured them that seasoned professionals would provide hands-on instruction to ensure they receive quality training in their respective areas.
