The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has visited the family of late Uwaila Omozuwa and some orphanages, urging residents to take advantage of the Christmas season to show love to the less privileged in the society.

Late Uwaila, a 100 Level Microbiology student of the University of Benin was gruesomely murdered in a church in 2020.

The governor said, “Uwaila did not die in vain. The federal and state governments have taken stiffer actions against gender-based violence. We are here to continue to celebrate her life as we continue to fight against gender-based violence.

“Her death was the reason for the establishment of gender-based violence committee. The Edo State Government has put mechanisms in place to fight gender-based violence related offences.

“Her death led to the promulgation of the Violence Against Persons (VAP) law in the state and people are now aware of the crime.”

Speaking on the Christmas celebration, Obaseki urged Nigerians to continue to show love during the period of the celebration, noting, “At this time when we are celebrating Christmas, I think emphasis should be placed on the vulnerable and those who are not strong. We should extend a hand of fellowship, extend happiness to those who are not fortunate as us.”

“That is why we are going round to do as much as we can to physically visit orphanages and people who have challenges, at this time of the year.  Through the Data to MEGA, we now have a database of ten thousand vulnerable persons and we are sending them gift items across the state.”
