Meet New Kogi First Lady, Rashida Bello + Why she is passionate about the down-trodden

Mrs. Rashida Bello
is the amiable wife of Alhaji Yahaya
Bello
, the youngest Governor in Nigeria and Governor of Kogi
State
in North Central Nigeria. She is an Accountant by profession and
an alumnus of the prestigious University of Abuja.
The new first Lady of Kogi is a very pretty and amiable
lady who has a great passion for the development of the lives of the less
privileged, the marginalized and physically challenged members of the society.

Her humility distinguishes her in the midst of the crowd. Mrs. Bello within few weeks her amiable
husband was sworn in as Governor of the Confluence State has embarked on an
initiative to empower Kogi women.  It appears to all that the new woman at Laggard
House
is allergic to a society filled with disgruntled youths and
disillusioned crowd of women.  Therefore,
her initial project is to train those who have acquired skills on how to manage
their businesses to maximize profit through improved technical know-how. To
this extent, Mrs. Rashida Bello is
said to have assembled a team of poverty alleviation experts who will put many
of the beneficiaries on the path line of self discovery and professional
technical know-how for total eradication of poverty in the land.
