CONDOLENCE MESSAGE TO THE NATION NIGERIA, AND THE FAMILY OF FORMER PRESIDENT MOHAMMADU BUHARI

The Military Widows Association (MIWA) extends its deepest condolences to the government, people, and the bereaved family of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. We mourn the loss of a leader who left an indelible mark on Nigeria's history.

A LEADER OF DISCIPLINE AND SERVICE
President Buhari's legacy is defined by his commitment to public service, discipline, and integrity. As a military head of state and later as a democratically elected president, he worked tirelessly to strengthen Nigeria's democratic institutions and promote national development.

May His Legacy Endure
As we bid farewell to a remarkable leader, we pray that his legacy continues to inspire future generations. May Allah grant President Buhari Aljannatul Firdaus.

Sincerely,

Maria Emmanuel

The 25th anniversary of Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF), a brainchild of Hajiya T**i Abubakar, marked a significant milestone in the fight against human trafficking and child labour in Nigeria.

*From Vision to Reality*

As the Second Lady of Nigeria during her husband's vice presidency, T**i Abubakar seized the opportunity to turn her vision into reality. WOTCLEF was born, and since then, has been at the forefront of combating human trafficking, child labour, and promoting women's empowerment.

*WOTCLEF's Impact*

Over the past 25 years, WOTCLEF has:

- Rescued thousands of trafficking victims
- Provided shelter, education, and vocational training to survivors
- Advocated for policy changes and legislation against human trafficking
- Collaborated with international organizations to combat cross-border trafficking

*A Call to Action*

As WOTCLEF celebrates this milestone, it reiterates its commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals and promoting a safer, more just society. Join the fight against human trafficking and child labour. Support WOTCLEF's initiatives today.
