FOMWAN @40: Muslim women celebrate decades of ‘service to humanity’

The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria says its education, health, and humanitarian intervention programmes have achieved milestones over the last 40 years.
Habiba Usman, chairwoman of the Bauchi state chapter of the association, said this in a message to mark FOMWAN Week from June 1 to 7, across the country.
FOMWAN is a faith-based group focused on promoting education, health, economic empowerment, humanitarian service, and Islamic propagation across Nigeria.
Ms Usman said the achievements recorded over the organisation’s 40 years of existence were a testament to decades of dedicated service to humanity.
She said the anniversary provided an opportunity to reflect on the organisation’s contributions to education, health, humanitarian service and Islamic Da’awah (evangelism).
The association, she said, would continue to impact lives positively through girl-child education support, improvements in school infrastructure, promotion of maternal and child healthcare, support for orphans and widows, and the advancement of Islamic awareness.
“Forty years is not just a milestone; it is a testimony of dedication to education, health, humanitarian service and Da’awah, which remained the pillars of our work in Bauchi State and across Nigeria.
“As we reflect on decades of impact, we are reminded that every act of service contributes to building a better society and securing a brighter future for generations to come,” she said.
Ms Usman commended members, partners, and volunteers for their commitment and sacrifices in advancing the association’s growth.
She urged members of the association to renew their commitments to enhance service to humanity.
Ms Usman also prayed for successful elections in the leadership positions, adding that the new executives would build on the achievements of their predecessors.
