She made the promise on Friday in Makurdi, while meeting with women to asses the progress of her NGO – Eunice Spring of Life Foundation( ESLF).
She said that her emphasis on the sciences was to encourage more girls to become professionals in science-related fields, after observing that very few women were doctors, pharmacists, engineers, architects and medical scientists in Benue.
The governor’s wife said that the priority given to the sciences was also in line with the working document of the Samuel Ortom-led administration that emphasised collective vision for a new Benue.
