| Believing on women power: Mr. Abera Tilahun |
President of Micro Business College, Mr. Abera Tilahun began his opening remarks mentioning ancient ladies who brought fame for the country including Queen of Sheba. Even during his proclamations to wage a war against Italy, Emperor Haileselassie called men and women alike to fight, he recalled. The theme of the lecture has prompted him to make a self-retrospective. “I was thinking the place women have in my life. How integral are they to my life!! As mother, daughter, sister, wife, aunt, grandma... Later my brilliant girl students, teachers, staff members, many government officers”, Mr. Abera recollected. He said that it was true that his wife Meseret continues to be the key contributor in his professional success.

Quoting the 19th century British Poetess, Charlotte Bronte, he concluded his speech by saying that ‘females are free human beings whose progress cannot be curtailed by nets of illogical social norms and culture. “I swear that our college would live to this wisdom” he assured. Since he was on voice rest due to throat infection, his speech was read by his son, Dr. Nebiyu Abera, who is also a member of the governing council of the college.
