The beautiful winner of the 2020 Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant, Miss Beauty Etsemyi Tukura has visited the NUJ Press Centre at Asaba, Delta State, seeking partnership of the pen professionals towards her pet project – Education of the Girl Child.
The law graduate who hails from Taraba State, visited with her team Monday 12th October, 2020, after visiting with the Delta State Ministry of Tourism.
Tukura who appeared elegantly alluring, requested that the NUJ give her publicity as she embarks on a mission to rescue girls who are involved in prostitution on the streets of Asaba and support those who are willing to go back to school.
She said that strategic plans had been put in place by her team to ensure that girls who are forced into early marriages adopt an alternate option of going back to school
Responding to the Miss Nigeria, the Vice Chairman of NUJ, Delta State Council, Comrade Salvation Ogono who adequately represented the Chairman, assured Miss Tukura that the Union was ever ready to provide her with the platform to express herself and achieve her dream project.
He congratulated her for being the first person to engage the new Executive in a maiden assignment, not even when their maiden Exco Meeting had not held.
Ogono stressed that the Union is in the business of partnering with well meaning individuals and groups who are adding values to society while encouraging development, capacity building and enduring empowerment, especially as they pertain to Girl Child Education.
