Delivering the opening remarks, the Chairperson, Mrs Gloria Babalola, represented by the Acting Zonal Coordinator, Mrs. Hanifatu Ahmed, emphasized that every individual’s health battle is deeply personal and requires an environment free of judgment. She noted that while breast cancer awareness is crucial for promoting early detection and saving lives, mental health awareness is equally vital to ensure people care for their emotional well-being
“As members of NAOWA and Nigerian Army Soldiers’ Wives Association (NASWA), let us promote a culture of care, encourage people to seek help when necessary and remember that a little kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life,” she stated.
