The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Plan International to strengthen efforts in advancing gender equality and protecting children’s rights across Nigeria.
The partnership, sealed in Abuja, is anchored on the ASPIRE project and will focus on advocacy, capacity-building initiatives, and promoting quality journalism to empower women and girls.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, NAWOJ National President, Aisha Ibrahim, said the collaboration will drive sustainable change by equipping local women’s rights groups and youth-led organizations with strategic skills.
“Through this collaborative framework, we will implement initiatives that empower women and girls, dismantle systemic barriers, and create an enabling environment for them to reach their full potential,” Ibrahim stated.
On behalf of Plan International, the Country Director, Charles Usie, represented by Helen Idiong, Director of Program Quality and Influencing, expressed delight at the partnership. He commended NAWOJ for consistently amplifying the voices of women, girls, and children, noting that the MoU would enable even greater impact.
The event was attended by NAWOJ national officers from Zone D alongside members of the NAWOJ FCT Executive.
