The wife of Senator Gershom Bassey, representing the Southern Senatorial District,  has distributed empowerment items to women as well as made a donation of medical equipment to Cross River State Government worth millions of Naira.
Distributing the items in the Calabar, Dr. Chioma Gershom Bassey, said the items was her own way to appreciate and to encourage the women.
Women,  she said, need empowerment most because of their role in our society.
She urged them to make judicious use of the items by ensuring that it helps them in adding food on their tables.
Chioma advised them to be politically conscious and not to allow themselves to be used and dumped by politicians seeking for votes especially as we are entering into an election year.
While describing the items as a token of her love for women,  Chioma enjoined them to pray for the leadership of the country to always “do the Will of God at all times”.
In a related development, she also donated medical equipment worth millions of Naira to the Cross River state government at the Ekpo Abasi Primary Health Care Centre.
Receiving the donation,  the commissioner for Health, Dr. Inyang Asibong,  commended Mrs. Bassey, for her kind gesture.
She said “this equipment will go a long way in addressing the challenges of lack of equipment in this health center”.
Asibong called on well spirited individual and corporation organisations in the state to emulate this wonderful gesture,  “as government alone cannot provide all the necessary
equipment in our hospitals and health centres”.
According to her “on behalf of government , I want to sincerely commend you and your entire family for seeming it fit to make this donation”.
The Commissioner received the donation alongside the Director Primary Health Care Agency,  Mrs. Beta Edu.
