-

 


The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) on its 25th anniversary, celebrating what it described as “twenty-five years of visionary legacy, empowerment, and inspiration” under the theme “Inspiring the Next Generation.”


In a statement signed by the party’s spokesman, Hon. Seye Oladejo, the APC commended COWLSO’s enduring contributions to the state’s development, describing the organisation as “a beacon of compassionate service, intellectual growth, and civic responsibility.”


Oladejo praised the foresight of COWLSO’s founders, led by the First Lady of the Federation, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and acknowledged the commitment of successive chairpersons, including the current First Lady, Dr. (Mrs.) Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, for sustaining the organisation’s vision of promoting community service, supporting governance, and empowering women.


He said COWLSO’s interventions in health, education, environmental sustainability, and women’s empowerment reflect the spirit of continuity and compassion that defines Lagos governance.


“The Lagos APC recognizes COWLSO as a living model of institutional sustainability and intergenerational mentoring,” Oladejo stated. “Its work aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, advancing inclusion, empowerment, and excellence in governance.”


He added that COWLSO’s annual conferences have become intellectual platforms shaping policy discourse and inspiring innovation across multiple sectors.


As the organisation celebrates its silver jubilee, the Lagos APC lauded its role in nurturing women leaders, promoting girl-child education, and strengthening family values, describing these as “the enduring spirit of a Lagos that works, innovates, and leads.”


Reaffirming the party’s support, Oladejo said, “The success of COWLSO is not just a tribute to the women behind it but a reflection of Lagos’ people-centred and visionary governance model.”


He congratulated COWLSO for its achievements and expressed optimism that the organisation will continue to inspire future generations “to serve with empathy, lead with courage, and build with integrity.”

The Media Rights Agenda (MRA) on Tuesday called on Federal and State Governments to make human rights a lived reality for all Nigerians in accordance with their constitutional obligation to recognize and maintain human dignity.  It said that by so doing, they could begin to rebuild public trust in government, foster national unity, and unlock the true potential of the Nigerian people. In a statement issued in Lagos to commemorate this year’s International Human Rights Day, MRA lamented that the promise of human rights contained in the Constitution as well as in regional and international instruments that Nigeria is party to, has remained unfulfilled for far too many citizens as the country has spiraled into a jungle where only the fittest survive and human life has little value. MRA’s Programme Officer, Ms Esther Adeniyi, said in the statement: “The Federal Government has duties and obligations under international law to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. It cannot claim to ...
