PHOTOS: Impactful Women Award Holds Successfully In Accra


Dignitaries from all walks of life relished great moments at the 2018 Impactful Women Award / Lecture on Breast Cancer which held at the ultra-modern event auditorium of UDS Guest House, Accra- Ghana.
Several women who are making impact in their different fields of endeavor gathered at the venue to receive different categories of Award viz Education, Youth Advocacy/Empowerment, Business , Health, Social Work, Journalism, Humanitarian services etc.  The theme of the event was ‘’ Celebrating Creativity and Hardwork of the African Woman’’.

Comrade Barry Ndu Nwaihim, the convener of Impactful Women Award (IWA) stated in an interview with our international correspondent that the essence of the event was to celebrate women who are doing great things across the world and encourage them to keep doing more. He noted that most times in the African setting, women are relegated to the background meanwhile more women are becoming breadwinners of homes, CEO in different organizations and trail blazers. Comrade Barry explained that the best way to get the best out of achievers is to continuously encourage them. He frowned at the instances where people who are impacting society are allowed to die before families and government spend so much money to bury them. He called on African government to place emphasis on the empowerment of young women as they have the capacity to bring new ideas and creativity in government. He also advised guests to take note from the lecture on Breast Cancer so they can put into use all that is needed to properly take care of their body system to prevent cancer.


Jennifer Adaeze, a health specialist from Nigeria who was the Guest Speaker gave an intelligent lecture on Pathophysiology, Risk Factors, Symptoms Diagnostic Parameters, Treatment and Cancer warning signs.  She explained the different symptoms of cancer and ways of prevention. Jennifer thrilled the audience with an amazing definition of class in her presentation. She said cancer can also be found in men so every living being should do everything within their capacity to always check up their body system. During the Question and Answer session, all the questions that came from the guests got a response.
The recipients of the award included Joy Obi, the first certified female Mercedes Benz specialist in Nigeria, Joyce Jambiedu, Reyhanath Toure Mamadou,  Davog Global Impact led by Eunice Ogbeide, Lady Adeola Adeleye- Fasubaa, Lydia Nana Ama Baiden, Elizabeth Dzifah, Madam Anthonia Oguah and so many others.

On behalf of the award recipients, Joyce Jambiedu, CEO of Wellam Shea Company   thanked the organizers for such a great event that tends to recognize their effort in building a prosperous society. She assured of her personal commitment to consistently impact women even in the rural areas. She asked Government to support initiatives that helps in the growth of the economy especially one that takes young people out of joblessness. Joyce prayed for the safe trip for all the guests that came from all parts of the world for the event.

In all, it was a successful event as Organizers look forward for the 2019 edition.
