A state of equity and rights of women and children with disabilities.

The NIDCOM Boss Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa was pleased with the initiative and commended her efforts in giving back to society as a good Diaspora Ambassador.

Hon Dabiri-Erewa stressed the need for others to emulate Olaide and promised to liaise with other government agencies particularly the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities and the Ministry of Women Affairs to promote the good course.

G-WAF was founded in 2018 mainly to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all women with disabilities, less privileged children, and the elderly.
