Wednesday is that day of the week where we get to appreciate the good women in our lives. Today’s post is in honour of one of Onitsha’s finest and hardworking women who is championing the affairs of Ndi Onitsha at the Anambra State House of Assembly. Her name, Hon. Beverly  Ikpeazu-Nkemdiche.

Here are some vital information about her:
