It is with immense admiration that I extend my warmest goodwill to the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), Ogun State Branch, as you commemorate your 2025 Branch Week under the profoundly important theme: “Food, Security, Nutrition & Family: Nurturing the Future of the African Child.”
This theme strikes at the heart of our collective responsibility. A child’s future begins long before they step into a classroom— it begins with the quality of food they eat, the safety of the environment they grow in, the strength of the family that embraces them, and the policies we create to protect them. Your choice of focus is not only timely but deeply impactful.
FIDA has continued to stand firm as a voice for the vulnerable, a bridge for the underserved, and a champion of justice for women and children across Nigeria. Your consistent commitment to advocacy, empowerment, and public service remains an inspiration to many of us within the legal community.
As you gather in Ijebu-Ode for this important event, I celebrate your dedication to shaping a society where every African child not only survives but thrives. May your conversations spark policy reform, your engagements strengthen families, and your presence continue to give hope to the voiceless.
I applaud the leadership and members of FIDA Ogun for your unwavering service. May this Branch Week deepen your impact and renew your strength for the great work ahead.
Warm regards,
Barth Aniche Okoye
