Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), is delighted to specially acknowledge and commend the Director General of the renamed ‘Maryam Babangida National Center for Women Development’, Dr Asabe Bashir Valitta for the successful hosting of the renaming event of the national edifice and the induction of notable women into the Nigeria Hall of Fame.
This is indeed a great feat and remarkable reminder of the dogged and committed efforts of our heroin past, Late Dr Maryam Babangida, who brought women issues to national limelight and prominence in governance in Nigeria.
NAWOJ is particularly pleased that three media personalities made the list of inductees into the national Hall of Fame.
On this note, we wish to pay special tribute to our distinguished and amiable former President, Chief (Mrs) Moji Makanjola, MFR, a trail blazer of note and mentor to many for her induction and as a recipient of the Award of Excellence for her contributions to nation building.
Other distinguished leaders and outstanding media personalities that were inducted include Dr Ene Ede, a gender activist and renowned media icon and Toun Okewale Sonaiya, CEO of First Women Radio in Nigeria amongst other distinguished Nigerian women.
Today, we join others to celebrate your unique leadership qualities and contribution to the growth of humanity.
This stride is a clear demonstration that efforts of women are being recognized and appreciated.
NAWOJ national Secretariat is specifically proud that three of her members were accorded recognition and meritoriously appreciated.
NAWOJ also congratulates all the women of worth that were inducted and honoured with various Awards.
Congratulations and wishing you more laurels in the future.
Yours faithfully,
Ladi Bala
President.
