The Coordinator of the Office of the First Lady in Benue State, Her Excellency, Mrs. Scholastica Ben Sor has commended catholic women under the auspices of Catholic Women Organisation, Nigeria (CWON) for their steadfastness in the service of God and humanity.
She made this known on Friday, November 13, 2026 at the Gboko Diocese 13th annual Diocesan Seminar and fund raising of Fifty Million Naira for the construction of CWO entrepreneur hall where she was represented by Pendatyo-U-Tiv, Rt. Hon. Chief Mrs Dorothy Mato at St. Ann's Catholic Central Church, Adikpo Deanery, Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State.
In her message to the women, she craved their indulgence for her absence as a result of the Presidential campaign holding in Jos, Plateau State on Saturday, November 14, 2026 which she, alongside others accomplished the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia on Friday, November 13, 2026.
She reiterated Gov. Alia's commitment to the growth of the church and made it lucid that the Governor, alongside her and other government functionaries will surely attend one of the Sunday masses to celebrate them.
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, she appealed to them to ensure that Gov. Alia is re-elected through their votes to enable him complete the momentous impact he is making on the good people of Benue State and beyond.
In her separate speech, Chief Mato dissuaded women from allowing their female children to be trafficked for prostitution, stating that this act is bringing shame to women for negligence and pleaded with them to take proactive measures to curtail this outlandish practice.
Her Excellency donated huge amount of money to Catholic Women Organisation to support the annual Diocesan Seminar and promised to do more for the organisation and the church.
In their separate speeches, the Acting Chairman of Kwende Local Government, Hon. Mrs. Rita Nguugwan Iortsor and the Senior Special Assistant SSA on Event Management to Gov. Alia, Hon. Dr. Dorcas Doom Akpoughol praised the women for always being committed to the service of God and humanity. They commended Gov. Alia for the roles he has played on numerous occasions in support of not just catholic women, but the church and other religious bodies.
In their appreciation speeches, the Diocesan President of CWO, Mrs Philomena Vegher and the Provincial President, Abuja Province of CWO, Mrs. Eunice Gungul extolled Gov. Alia, Ben Sor, Chief Mato, Mrs Iortsor and Dr. Mrs Akpoughol for their support to women and the catholic church. However, they made it clear that they will be more excited when the Governor comes around.
