Inner Wheel has been doing a lot to support government in the area of women, children and youths and I enjoin more women to take up such causes so that together, we can leave a lasting legacy as women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contribution to development<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of personal contribution to development, I have a nongovernmental organisation, Child Uplifting Development Association, which caters for children within the ages of seven and 13. Some of them are street children, with some trading on the streets. What we do is take them off the streets, put them in our established home and after series of trainings, try to reunite them with their families,\u201d Onanuga said.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the theme for her one-year tenure,\u00a0Leave a Lasting Legacy, tallied with the deputy governor\u2019s call to women, Rufai, shortly after receiving the mantle of leadership from the erstwhile District Chairman, Mrs. Oluwemimo Olasanya, said the district would partner the Lagos State Government and Rotary to have lasting impact on the lives of women and children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to empower the down-trodden. This year will, however, be a different year because we will collaborate with the Lagos State government and Rotary to specially reach out to women suffering with <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/asbestos-disease-mesothelioma\/\">cancer<\/a>. By September precisely also, we hope to have a lecture on health. We will also go to schools to mentor them on safety, to address the spate of kidnapping in our society. Widows will also greatly benefit from this Inner Wheel year through vocational training and empowerment,\u201d Rufai disclosed at the ceremony attended by the Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University, Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun; wife of the former Vice-President, Mrs. Titi Atiku Abubakar, and immediate past international president, Yemisi Alatise, among other dignitaries.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President of Inner Wheel Club of Onipanu, a club chartered recently under District911, Mrs Jumoke Odulaja, has decried the spate of kidnapping in secondary schools lately. Odulaja, who said projects outlined for the club\u2019s maiden year included seminars on safety which will be organised in various schools in the district, added, \u201cAs a widow too, I am very passionate about widows. Hence, the Inner Wheel Club of Onipanu will give support to widows in diverse ways. We will go to public schools to give talks and free educational materials to students. Our primary goal is to help build their self-esteem so they do not consider themselves inferior to children from wealthy homes. \u00a0 We will also conduct free health checks to address the spate of sudden death in our society.<\/p>\n<p>Odulaja who spoke at a ceremony which witnessed the chartering of Inner Wheel Club of Onipanu in Lagos, said the newly-chartered club comprised government officials, top professionals, wives of top government functionaries, as well as business tycoons, who are also passionate about charitable causes.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/property-center-nigeria\/\">real estate<\/a> entrepreneur and widow expressed optimism that the club formed one year ago would be birthing newer clubs in a few months, saying, \u201cWomen in this club are committed to selfless service to humanity. Thus, with the type of members I have, I can see another two clubs springing up from the Inner Wheel in the next few months, to further reach out to different communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2017\/08\/strive-leave-legacy-ogun-deputy-gov-tells-women\/\"> Vanguard <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Josephine Agbonkhese THE Deputy Governor, Ogun State, Chief (Mrs) Yetunde Onanuga, has implored women to &hellip; <a title=\"Strive to leave a legacy, Ogun Deputy Gov tells women\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/strive-to-leave-a-legacy-ogun-deputy-gov-tells-women\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Strive to leave a legacy, Ogun Deputy Gov tells women<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5678,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[1399,12908,543,127,684,522,84],"class_list":["post-5677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-development","tag-home","tag-home-buying-guide","tag-homes","tag-lagos","tag-nigeria","tag-real-estate"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Amoke-Rufai.png?fit=412%2C269&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7935,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/yewa-indigenes-begin-n200m-unity-house\/","url_meta":{"origin":5677,"position":0},"title":"Yewa indigenes begin N200m \u2018Unity House\u2019","author":"Amazing Property","date":"January 29, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Ogun State governor Senator Ibikunle AmosunConstruction has begun on the two-floor structure in Ilaro, Ogun state, known as \"Yewa Unity House\", which will serve as a convergence point of Yewa sons and daughters, home and diaspora.
