Notably, Mrs. Enih’s transformative leadership has brought visible change to the ministry, through her relentless efforts to advocate for and implement government interventions addressing domestic violence. Her work has brought peace to many homes, empowered women and youth, and created opportunities for the less privileged through scholarships and vocational training. Known for her compassion, dedication, and foresight, she has tirelessly pursued a vision for a society where vulnerable groups receive the support they need to thrive.
In recent months, Mrs. Enih’s collaboration with the Balija Eye Care Foundation through the "Sight is Life for Enugu Women" project made headlines, as she played a crucial role in organizing a successful two-day eye care outreach for women, with the active support of Dr Ilodibe's partner, Hon Arinze Emmanuel Eze. Held in August 2024, the event provided free eye care to over 1,300 women, offering screenings, glasses, and follow-up surgeries. This achievement underscored her dedication to healthcare access, especially for underserved populations, and earned her the heartfelt gratitude of the beneficiaries and collaborating medical teams.
Today’s tributes from Leaders of Balija Eye Care Foundation serve as a resounding acknowledgment of Hon. Mrs. Enih's dedication, resilience, and transformative influence. Through her leadership, Enugu State’s Ministry of Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development has become a pillar of support for those in need, advancing Governor Peter Mbah’s vision for shared prosperity and inclusive progress. While Enugu State celebrates her today, Hon. Mrs. Ngozi Enih stands as a difference a committed leader can make in the lives of thousands in the society.
