We have empowered many in four Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the State like; Abakaliki, Ebonyi, Affikpo North and Ikwo LGAs”.
The Reverend in charge of Universal Christ Ministry of All Nations, Dr Scamb Nwokolo who prayed for God’s Providence in their lives advised the widows who were supported to live a life worthy of emulation instead of involving in harmful behaviors.

Ofobuike prayed for God’s blessings upon the lives of the organisers.
