The Girls Brigade 23rd Calabar Company, District 2, held a vibrant and inspiring ceremony on Sunday to officially enroll new patrons, in a service filled with music, prayers, and celebration at the Presbyterian Church, Usang Iso Memorial Parish, Calabar, Cross River State.
One of the key highlights of the event was the recognition of Engr. Mrs. Anjor Obande, a passionate humanitarian and founder of the Jorjor Mother and Child Foundation.
She was honoured for her outstanding commitment to youth empowerment and advocacy for maternal and child welfare.
The enrollment of new patrons marks a significant milestone in the Brigade’s mission to foster strong leadership and deepen community engagement. The inclusion of trailblazers like Engr. Obande demonstrates the organization’s ongoing commitment to raising confident, responsible, and God-fearing young women.
In her acceptance speech, Engr. Obande expressed heartfelt appreciation for the honour and pledged her continued support for the Brigade’s vision and values.
“My mission is to empower young girls to be independent—because independence builds confidence. A confident woman is an empowered woman,” she said.
She also encouraged the girls to stay rooted in faith, quoting the Bible: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you.”
Also addressing the gathering, Deputy State Commissioner of the Girls Brigade, Cross River State, Ms. Okuawan Inyang, reminded the newly inducted patrons that their roles are not merely ceremonial but come with the responsibility to mentor, support, and actively contribute to the growth of the organization.
“We are counting on you to lead by example, uplift our young girls, and walk with us in shaping a bold, capable, and purpose-driven generation,” she said.
The ceremony featured uplifting musical performances, goodwill messages, and moments of reflection, creating an atmosphere of unity, joy, and shared purpose.
As the Girls Brigade continues to grow across Cross River State, the addition of committed patrons like Engr. Obande is expected to further strengthen its mission.
With the support of such leaders, the Brigade is well-positioned to keep inspiring and equipping the next generation of Nigerian women.
