DUNUKOFIA WOMEN AUGUST SUMMIT 2026: CELEBRATING WOMEN, STRENGTHENING FAMILIES, BUILDING A BETTER DUNUKOFIA
Over 1000 Selected Women to Receive Cash Supports
The Dunukofia Local Government Council, under the visionary leadership of the Mayor, Chijioke C. Ozumba, Esq., is set to host the Third Edition of the Dunukofia Women August Summit 2026, proudly tagged “Celebrating Our Virtuous Women.”
The summit, scheduled for Monday, 24th August 2026, by 11:00am at the Dunukofia Local Government Secretariat, Ukpo, is another demonstration of the Ozumba administration’s commitment to recognising, empowering and encouraging women as critical partners in the development of Dunukofia.
The Women August Summit is an initiative introduced by Mayor Ozumba in 2024, with the vision of creating an annual platform through which the Local Government can deliberately recognise, celebrate, encourage and empower women across the six communities of Dunukofia. Since its inception, the Mayor has consistently sustained and strengthened the programme, ensuring that it continues to grow in impact and relevance.
From education and responsible parenting to environmental sanitation, security consciousness and economic empowerment, the administration recognises that strong women build strong families, and strong families build a stronger society.
Under Mayor Ozumba’s leadership, women are not treated as mere beneficiaries of government programmes but as active partners in governance and community development. His administration continues to create platforms that encourage women to contribute meaningfully to the social, economic and moral advancement of Dunukofia.
The Women’s August Summit is therefore more than a celebration. It is an opportunity to appreciate the invaluable contributions of our women, inspire greater participation, promote positive values and strengthen the bond between government and the people.
As part of this year’s programme, over 1000 women already selected will be specially celebrated and presented with cash support, in recognition of their contributions, resilience and positive impact within their families and communities.
The summit will be hosted by Chijioke C. Ozumba, Esq., Mayor, Dunukofia L.G. Council, while the distinguished Special Guests of Honour include Hon. Mark Okoye (Ebubedike II), MD, Southeast Development Commission; Mrs Chinyere Esther Onyekesi, Commissioner for Women & Social Development, Anambra State; Rt. Hon.
