In a gesture of empowerment and community engagement, FIDA Nigeria, Rivers State Branch, orchestrated a transformative community outreach and legal clinic on December 7, 2023, as part of its FIDA Week/36th Anniversary activities. The event unfolded in the heart of Opobo/Nkoro Community in Rivers State, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those it touched.
The program commenced with a heartfelt prayer led by Mrs. Felicia, the women leader, setting a tone of unity and purpose. Mrs. Adata Bio-Briggs, the Chairperson, then delivered opening remarks, articulating the significance of the visit to the attending women.
A series of enlightening sessions unfolded, delving into the provisions of the VAPP Law, Child Rights Law, Constitutional Rights, and the importance of moral living. The engagement was interactive, featuring a robust question and answer session, ensuring clarity on any lingering uncertainties.
