The Speaker Anambra State House of Assembly, Right Honourable Uche
Okafor says the law enacted by the State Legislature for adequate
protection of widows in the State is still in force.
In his goodwill message to widows in the State as they join their
counterparts in celebrating their day, Right Honourable Okafor
maintained that any form of maltreatment or intimidation of widows in
the State by anybody or group is against the law of the State
government.
The Speaker, who called on traditional rulers to abrogate all
obnoxious laws in their communities, noted that widows should not be
made to suffer additional torture upon losing their husbands.
He commended the Wife of the Governor, Dr. Ebelechukwu Obiano for
using the Caring Family Enhancement Initiative CAFE to provide a
better life for the widows in the State.
The State number one Lawmaker enjoined affluent citizens to use part
of their resources to improve the living standards of widows in their
midst.
