Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s wife and chairperson of the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO), Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has reiterated the organisation’s dedication to uplifting women and families through impactful programmes aimed at fostering unity, empowerment, and community development.
Dr. Sanwo-Olu made this known while leading members of COWLSO on an awareness walk in Ikorodu, Lagos, as part of activities to sensitize residents ahead of the forthcoming National Women Conference.
Speaking during the symbolic walk, the Lagos State First Lady emphasized the importance of the annual conference, describing it as a platform to amplify the voices of women and promote purposeful living across communities.
“This walk is to draw attention to the upcoming National Women Conference and what it stands for: unity, empowerment, and support for women and families. We remain committed to initiatives that truly touch lives and foster positive social impact,” she said.
Dr. Sanwo-Olu also commended the warm reception by local authorities, particularly acknowledging the support of the six council chairmen in the Ikorodu division.
Chairman of Ikorodu West Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mr. Kareem Sulaimon, in his welcome address, expressed appreciation to the COWLSO leadership for selecting Ikorodu for the awareness campaign.
He assured that his administration would continue to prioritize women empowerment and inclusive governance.
The 2025 edition of the National Women Conference is scheduled to hold from October 28th to 30th. The three-day event will feature plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and exhibitions, all tailored to equip women with the knowledge and tools to thrive in an ever-evolving society.
