Support your husbands pay school fees – Ex-Commissioner tells women in Abia

A former Commissioner for Transport in Abia State, Mrs Nnenna Obewu Onwuka has advised women in the country to always assist their husbands in the payment of their children’s school fees.

This, she said, would reduce the burden placed on the shoulders of their husbands in running the family.

Mrs Onwuka who was the Chairperson of the International Women’s Day celebration, organized by the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike Women Association, MOUAUWA, on Thursday at Umudike, advised women against hoarding their money when it comes to school fees payments but to assist their husbands.

Obewu Onwuka who applauded the contributions of women in the development of families and the nation at large regretted that some wives hoard their money instead of helping with school fees payment.

According to her, kids are sometimes driven out of classes for not paying fees because some of the mothers were waiting for their husbands to provide school fees.

She also used the occasion to challenge women, especially the widows in society, to take their place, urging them to fight every form of societal barrier and become captains of industry.
