The distinguished 2018 Pan African Virtuous Women Awards, have recognised the unchallengeable honour of outstanding women in Africa and beyond. The prestigious Award event which was hosted in Nigeria, honoured committed, diligent and upright women in various sectors of life.
Amongst the prominent beneficiary of the award, is her Excellency, Barr. (Mrs.) Annah Darius Ishaku, wife of the Executive Governor of Taraba state, Chikezie Ijeoma, Actress Namia Roberts, speaker of Anambra state house of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Rita Maduagwu and other distinguished award recipients across Africa.
The 2018 edition of African Virtuous Women Award was themed: "Focus on the Rights of Women and Gender Based Violence". The event was hosted by Africa's legendary compere Dr. Ayuba, as the awards ceremony kicked off with performances from various Pan-African Cultural Troupes with an intriguing Keynote Address by Barr. Mary Ekpere-Eta, DG of Women Development Centre, Abuja.
However the honour bestowed Lady Chikezie Ijeoma, the founder of Help Keep Clean Foundation, and recent Ex-Miss United Nations World Habitat, for African Women Health Advocacy, was with regards to her heath campaign and hand washing sensitization in Nigeria and Africa.
