Port Harcourt, Nigeria – At the heart of every progressive institution lies the courage to reflect, re-evaluate, and reimagine.
This ethos defined the recently held National Executive Council (NEC) Business Meeting of FIDA Nigeria, which took place in the vibrant and hospitable city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Far from being a routine assembly, the gathering brought together national officers and delegates from across the federation in a momentous convergence of strategy, reflection, and collective vision.
The meeting provided a platform for presenting critical reports from key organs of the association, including the Secretariat, Programmes, and Finance departments.
These reports did more than account for activities—they told powerful stories of resilience, advocacy, financial stewardship, and transformative programming underpinned by the unwavering commitment of FIDA Nigeria to its mission.
A major highlight of the event was the official unveiling of the FIDA@60 Commemorative Magazine, a landmark publication that chronicles the rich, six-decade journey of FIDA Nigeria.
The magazine, carefully curated and beautifully designed, captures the voices of the association’s trailblazing pioneers, milestone achievements across different generations, and the enduring commitment that continues to guide the organization’s path.
The unveiling ceremony was graced by the distinguished presence of Chief (Mrs.) Victoria Awomolo, SAN, Chairperson of the FIDA@60 Planning Committee.
Under her steady leadership, the celebrations marking six decades of impact were thoughtfully executed—combining elegance, depth, and historical reflection.
Her efforts were complemented by the visionary leadership of Mrs. Amina Agbaje, immediate past Country Vice President, whose administration championed the planning and execution of the FIDA@60 celebrations, leaving a legacy of pride and progress.
In heartfelt appreciation, FIDA Nigeria paid glowing tribute to its past leaders—Emerita Presidents and former officers—whose sacrifices and dedication laid the foundation for the organization’s strength and resilience.
Their legacies remain deeply woven into the fabric of FIDA Nigeria’s identity and continued relevance.
As members turned the pages of the commemorative magazine, it evoked more than nostalgia—it rekindled a sense of purpose, pride, and renewed commitment to the values of service, justice, and gender equity.
With a legacy spanning sixty transformative years, FIDA Nigeria is not just commemorating the past—it is courageously shaping the future.
Grounded in its storied history and propelled by a shared vision, the association stands poised to deepen its impact and extend its influence in the pursuit of justice, equity, and the protection of women’s and children’s rights across Nigeria.
