CDOWA Seeks More Collaboration For Peace And Development Initiative

The Civil Defence Officers Wives Association, CDOWA, Kaduna State chapter is soliciting for more collaboration in its Peace and Development Initiative.

The Chairperson, Mrs Victoria Panam Musa stressed that the association will continue to collaborate with individuals and organizations towards fostering peace and development in the society.

She stated this when she led her team on a visit to the Nigerian Defence Academy Officers Wives Assocation, NDAOWA, at the secretariat in Kaduna.

Mrs Musa maintained that, where there is no peace, no meaningful development can be achieved, hence the need for everyone to embrace it wholly.

“One of our aims is to contribute to National security against threats, attacks and disaster and to promote maintenance of peace and order, that is why our motto of CDOWA is “Peace at home and Peace in the Nation”, she said.

Mrs Musa lauded the efforts of NDAOWA under the leadership of its Coordinator, Mrs Oritseseyisan Adeola Olatoye for the achievements so far, particularly in the areas of skills acquisition programs that have impacted women from both the military and paramilitary as well as their immediate community, urging them to continue the good work.

While restating the efforts of the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi and his wife, who is the National president of CDOWA in ensuring the Assocation records remarkable achievements, Mrs Musa maintained that service to humanity has been the motivating force of the assocation in Kaduna and advocated for greater collaboration with NDAOWA.

“I bring greetings from my president, the National President in the person of Mrs Aisha Abubakar Audi and also from the Commandant General in the person of Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi.I always acknowledge his presence because of the key role he has been playing in the welfare of officers’ wives. He has also ensured that the thirty-five per cent affirmative action is adhered to, and that is why we don’t fail to recognize him.”

Responding, NDAOWA Coordinator, Mrs Oritseseyisan Adeola Olatoye appreciated the visit, saying she is delighted that some of the work done by the Assocation under her watch is been recognized and pledged to partner with CDOWA in the areas of skills acquisition and other developmental projects for women and overall development of the society.
