WECTIN Trains Religious Leaders on Gender-Based Violence

Welfare for Children & Teenagers Initiative (WECTIN), in collaboration with the Nigerian Women Trust Fund (NWTF), on Wednesday 23rd of July 2025, organized a sensitization training for religious leaders on their role in preventing and responding to GBV.

The team lead, Mr. Femi Olatunbosun, charged religious leaders to take an active role in educating their congregations and creating continuous awareness about gender-based violence. He emphasized that as moral figures in society, religious leaders are well-positioned to influence attitudes and promote zero tolerance for abuse.

Speaking at the event, the Program Manager of WECTIN, Mrs. Toyosi Ajayi, urged religious leaders not to cover up incidents of GBV within their communities. According to her, concealing such cases not only denies justice to survivors but also tarnishes the reputation of religious institutions. “Many of your followers look up to you. If you do what is right, they will likely follow suit,” she stated.

Also speaking during her presentation, WECTIN’s Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, Fatima Abdulwasiu, highlighted the importance of proper case referral. She encouraged religious leaders to direct survivors and reported cases to appropriate authorities and support centers equipped to handle them.

In her remarks, NWTF Communication Manager, Mrs Mujidat Agbabiaka Sholeye stressed the importance of empowering women economically as a preventative measure against abuse. “When women are economically independent, they are better positioned to make decisions and escape abusive environments,” she noted.

The training session concluded with a renewed commitment from participating religious leaders to become advocates for justice and safe spaces within their faith communities.

Declaring the workshop open, Permanent Secretary for Service Welfare, Dr. Sh*ttu Olufunke Mercy, charged the participants to remain patriotic, professional, and dedicated to safeguarding lives and property.

She emphasized that the training forms part of the government’s efforts to promote safety awareness and build capacity among public servants.

The Managing Director of UNANDER Nigeria Limited, Mr. Alexander E. Unemilin, stressed that the core mission of his organization is to promote safety in all aspects of life. He commended the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his foresight in initiating the training.

“This training aligns with our professional goal to ensure that every fireman, and indeed every citizen in Kwara State, becomes well-informed about safety practices and the proper use of safety gadgets,” he said.

Unemilin added that the workshop is just the beginning of a broader safety campaign across the state, with plans already underway for more sessions that will build a culture of safety consciousness in homes, schools, and workplaces.

During a media briefing, the Head of Media and Publicity for the Kwara State Fire Service, Mr. Hassan Hakeem Adekunle, described the training as a “knowledge booster”, noting that the firefighting profession evolves constantly.

“This workshop has sharpened our skills and exposed us to modern techniques. The knowledge gained will definitely enhance our ability to save lives and property more effectively,” he said.

Adekunle also appealed to residents of Kwara State to take fire safety precautions seriously, urging them to stay alert to avoid preventable disasters and report emergencies swiftly.

The workshop concluded with a call on fire officers to become safety ambassadors within their communities, and practical demonstrations on the usage of safety gadgets by moderators and participants.

Kwara South Senate 2027: APC Women in Politics backs Igbomina

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Women in Politics across the seven local government areas of Kwara South Senatorial District have thrown their weight behind the advocacy for Igbomina to produce the next senator representing the district. This declaration was made during a meeting with the National President of Orisun Igbomina, Chief Gbenga Awoyale.

In a press statement obtained by Just Event Online TV

The leader of APC Women in Politics (Kwara South), Hon. Amb. Idowu Olanike Lawal, expressed gratitude to Chief Awoyale for his consistent support for the development of Kwara South, particularly for women. She stated that the advocacy for Igbomina to produce the next senator is timely and in order, citing equity, justice, and fairness as the basis for their position. She assured that the Kwara South Women in Politics will not only support the project but also be part of its frontiers.

Chief Awoyale thanked the women for their progressive stance and commitment to advancing fairness. He emphasized that the advocacy is not self-serving but a genuine effort to demand what Igbomina truly deserves. He noted that Igbomina has supported other zones in the past and is now appealing for reciprocity.

"We have not been selfish, and this time, we are not being selfish," Chief Awoyale said. "We are only demanding a fair share of representation for our senatorial district. We've supported our brothers from the other two blocks before now; we are appealing to them to reciprocate Igbomina gestures."

He urged supporters not to be distracted by empty promises from those trying to deceive the people into supporting unfair ambitions. "Those in Abuja understand that politics is about grassroots and won't shave anyone's head in their absence," he added.

Chief Awoyale assured that Orisun Igbomina will work tirelessly to ensure that Igbomina produces the next Kwara South senator and that the senator serves the larger interest of Kwara South. "We will ensure that when Igbomina produces the next Kwara South senator, we won't lower our voice in ensuring he serves Kwara South's best interest," he said.

The meeting included coordinators from various local government areas, including Mrs. Jatto Sherifat Omolola (Offa LG), Mrs. Moradeyo Victoria (Irepodun LG), Mrs. Mohammed Omolara Taibat (Isin LG), Mrs. Oni Fausat Bola (Oke-ero LG), Mrs. Omotosho Rasheedat Ronke (Oyun LG), Mrs. Taiwo Racheal Rasheedat (Ekiti LG), and Mrs. Taiwo Jumoke Taofikat (Ifelodun LGA), among others.
