The Initiative for Women’s Accelerated Development in Africa (INWOAD) has congratulated Princess Edna Azura on her inauguration as the 16th National President of the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) Nigeria. In a statement signed by Evelyn Onyilo, President/Founder of INWOAD, the organization expressed confidence in Princess Azura’s ability to take the NCWS and Nigerian women to greater heights. “We are confident that you will take the NCWS and indeed Nigerian women to greater heights especially at this critical time of the Country’s political and socio-economic development,” the statement read. “We urge you to push for the inclusion of more women in governance and embark on aggressive advocacy and awareness on issues of gender-based violence and other harmful traditional practices affecting women and children.” The National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) is a non-political, non-ethnic, and non-governmental organization founded in 1958 to champion the rights and well-being of women across Nigeria. The organization aims to promote gender equity, inclusivity, and empowerment of women through advocacy, education, and healthcare. INWOAD wished Princess Azura a successful tenure as she repositions the Council and unites all Nigerian women. “We wish you a very successful tenure as you reposition the Council and unite all Nigerian Women. Once again, congratulations,” the statement concluded.
