NAFOWA National President Pays Working Visit to Logistics Chapter
The Nigerian Air Force Officers’ Wives Association (NAFOWA) National President, Mrs Elizabeth Olubunmi Amao, on Tuesday, May 4, paid a one-day working visit to the Logistics Command, Lagos.
The visit, which was her maiden to Lagos since her assumption of office, was to acquaint herself with NAFOWA, Logistics Command chapter and commission some NAFOWA projects. In her speech, she urged members to always pray for their husbands and the country especially during this period of insecurity, just as she solicited their support to move the association forward.
Noting that the association was created for the women to stick together, she reminded the women it was not a platform for intimidation nor gossip.
She said: “I want you to remember
that NAFOWA is not an avenue for gossip, not a place to show power. There are a lot of things to benefit in
NAFOWA.
“NAFOWA is a platform for you to stick together. This can be done by
cooperating with your chairperson and commander’s wife.
“Ladies, you should serve as example to people around you. The senior officer’s wife should serve as an example to the younger ones.
“Mostly, we should learn to be prayerful. We should remember our husbands, family in prayers and also our country, Nigeria especially in this time of insecurity.”
Assuring them their requests for provision of a bus and other infrastructure have been noted, Mrs. Amao also admonished the women to ensure they respect the by-laws governing the group.
Earlier, the Chairperson, NAFOWA LC chapter, Mrs. Oluwayemisi Makinde, appealed for assistance to complete some pending projects in the chapter including a school in Victoria Island, relocation to permanent site of the NAFOWA Little Angels School, Ishaga, among others.
