There was really no hope of furthering my education at the time because my parents used their resources on a house they were building before daddy’s loss of job. Somehow, help c

No fewer than ten widows were recently honoured and empowered by CKN Foundation at what could be described as a soul-lifting event, which held at Maximus Inn, 4 Adeniyi Jones Avenue Ikeja, Lagos. The event, which was the 3rd edition of CKN FOUNDATION EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME for widows, had ten widows going home with the sum of N15, 000 each.  It was indeed a fun-filled but solemn event. Though devoid of razzmatazz, it was a thoroughly exciting moment for the widows as they were stirred to keep hope alive in spite of the challenges around them.  On hand to chair the occasion was the Managing Director/Editor-In-Chief of The Union Newspaper, Mr Casmir Igbokwe and his amiable wife.

The widows who expressed great joy and surprise at the gesture thanked th
