The call for increased support for women echoed powerfully on Saturday as Hon. Ziphion Chrysanthus, MDAS and Security Agencies Liaison Director for the Plateau State Government, urged Nigerians to give women emotional, moral, and motivational backing to help them thrive.

He made this statement while addressing participants at the Connect Her Network Conference, a landmark event held at the prestigious Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja. The conference, which drew a cross-section of distinguished personalities and members of the diaspora, featured the official launch of the Connect Her mobile application by Ambassador Victoria Ogwuche Ojiah.

By urging society to provide consistent emotional, moral, and motivational support, he places women’s advancement at the heart of sustainable development.
As the applause at the Nicon Luxury Hotel faded, one thing was clear: the path to a stronger, more inclusive Nigeria depends on leaders, stakeholders, and everyday citizens rallying behind women, not just in words, but in practical and measurable actions.
