Continuing, she admonished the officers to always make their husbands happy insisting that their husbands can only work well when they are happy, “women should step up their games and make their husbands happy. When they are happy, husbands go the extra mile”, even as she insisted,” your husbands are the ones generating revenue for the government, and the revenue goes a long way in helping the nation,” she maintained.
