Newsline NG learnt the special Town Hall Conference will be held in royal pomp and pageantry, at the Royal Ranch, Ayede Ogbese with dignitaries in attendance from far and wide, on the United Nations global theme “Invest to prevent violence against women and girls”.
Organised on the mandate of HRM Oba Ajibola Oluyede, Ise Oluwa II, the Alayede of Ayede Ogbese (under the auspices of HRH Olori Olufunmilayo Oluyede), the event promises to be yet another productively impactful, resounding success.
Newsline NG gathered that Ayede Ogbese Women Vanguard was established just 2 years ago by HRH Olori Olufunmilayo Oluyede, the town’s amiable, globally renowned queen.
The group comprises the dedicated, grassroots leading ladies at the forefront of the town’s novel developments and initiatives -productively leading the way -as they efficiently represent their various groups in the affairs of the women and children of the town.
According to Olori Oluyede, “The main essence/objective of the United Nations 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM Campaign is to advocate for the prevention and total eradication of violence against women and girls in all its ugly, obnoxious manifestations globally.”
“Unfortunately, as is the case globally, Ayede Ogbese has its fair share of violence against women and girls. Our Vanguards certainly have their work cut out for them but are well able to successfully and productively tackle this societal menace, facilitated by these various United Nations commemorative observances.”
Speaking with Newsline NG in a separate interview, the event Coordinators, Mrs. Mabel Sunday, Princess Fadekemi Nejo commended Oba Oluyede and his Olori for thier outstanding contributions towards the development of Ayede Ogbese community.
They however prayed for more strength for them to continue the good work for the people and community specially.
