By Isaac Kertyo, Makurdi

First Lady of Benue State and Founder, Eunice Spring of Life Foundation, Dr Eunice Ortom has advocated the abolition of female genital mutilation in Benue State.

The First Lady made her position knwon at the finals of the Eunice Spring of Life Foundation tournament organized to mark the sixth anniversary of the foundation held at the football beach of the Benue State University, Makurdi.
She maintained that those who engaged in the practice were acting out of ignorance.

She noted that the practice was the violation of the rights of the victims with adverse effect both in the short and long term, even as She implored all and sundry to work towards achieving zoro tolerance for female genital mutilation.

” For us as a foundation it’s a challenge and a good choice we made to create this platform to encourage our children who have the aspirations to become great footballers and we are assiduously working to create a carrier in football.”

The First Lady who contended that She would make the tournament an annual event, expressed appreciation to partners of the foundation over their continued support.
