As women were celebrated across the globe Sunday, March 8, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has described them as indispensable partners in the collective advancement of the society.
The International Women’s Day has been celebrated globally since 1922 in recognition of the invaluable roles our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters play in shaping our society through their different callings.
This year’s theme is #GivetoGain.
Taking to his social media platforms to celebrate our women, Governor Uzodimma wrote: “Across communities, women continue to demonstrate resilience, leadership, and dedication in shaping a more inclusive and progressive society.
“I join the world over in celebrating International Women’s Day 2026, extolling women and acknowledging their immense contribution to societal growth and nation-building.
“In Imo State, our women have continued to drive this transformational progress, and their contributions are yielding remarkable impact across our social, economic, and civic spaces.
“Through their enterprise, advocacy, and commitment to community development, they remain indispensable partners in our collective advancement. To this end, I proudly celebrate them and encourage them to continue steadfastly on the path to #GiveToGain.
“As Imo women join their counterparts across the world to mark #IWD2026, we will continue to support their worthy cause in the best interest of our society and future generations.”
In Churches across the globe on Sunday, March 8, 2026, prayers were offered for our women just as Muslims did same in their Mosques on Friday.
