NAOWA distributes palliatives to widows, orphans of slain soldiers
The Nigerian Army Officers’ Wives Association (NAOWA), 81 Division Chapter, has distributed essential food items and other vital materials to widows, orphans, and families of deceased officers and soldiers within the Division’s Area of Responsibility (AOR).
The Division’s spokesman, Lt. Col. Musa Yahaya, said in a statement signed on Saturday that the humanitarian outreach programme was organised in commemoration of the Nigerian Army Day Celebration (NADCEL) 2025.
Mr Yahaya stated that the programme, which took place from July 3 to July 4, was led by the NAOWA Chairperson, Zainab Mijinyawa.
He said, “The aim of the initiative is to provide support and alleviate the hardships faced by widows of fallen heroes and children in orphanages within Lagos and Ogun states. The outreach was impactful and memorable, highlighting NAOWA’s commitment to supporting the families of officers and soldiers within 81 Division’s AOR. The beneficiaries expressed profound gratitude to the NAOWA Chairperson and her team for their kindness and generosity.’’
The spokesman said that the effort further underscored the Nigerian Army’s and NAOWA’s dedication to the welfare of its personnel and the community, even beyond the call of duty.
