Rosary High School Awgu was founded by Holy Rosary Sisters in 1956. The Reverend Sisters had this important duty and responsibility to train young girls of repute, that are honest, God-fearing, resourceful, diligent and courageous who will contribute their quota in nation building. Today RHS Awgu is proud to showcase outstanding women of honour occupying high positions in Nigeria and other parts of the world. The same story will also be told of other educational institutions that has produced women of honour

Hence we are celebrating women today. Nigerian women have come of age both as home builders and nation builders too.  We have women in every human endeavours; such as women scientists, captains of industries, jurists, politicians, administrators name it. We are celebrating the achievement of these women. Such women are inspiration to others by their good work.

The international women's day (IWD) was established by United Nations in March 8 1911 as an annual event to celebrate women political economic and social accomplishments. It is a day that we celebrate past, present and future women. This celebration has been on for over 100 years and it is celebrated globally in over 175 countries. Activities are marked by various groups on specific goals such as- gender equality, violence against women, sexual and reproductive health and rights, access to quality education and lifelong learning etc, to mark the event today we are organising a symposium on women affairs which will highlight such critical issues, role of women in the societies, women'

We invite women and our esteemed guest to share knowledge, ask questions as we come together to tackle professional and personal blocks in order to encourage women in all works of life to further success in their works and homes through developing confidence and removing self limiting beliefs/barriers.

Finally, we hope today's events will present some critical women's issues to our diverse audience and allow everyone to get involve regardless of background or commitments. Thus, celebrating the achievements will make a great difference to other aspiring women to advance in their work place and businesses.
