Governors’ Spouses Summit 2023
To ensure a smooth transition that preserves the dignity and integrity of the Nigeria Governors’ Wives Forum (NIGWF @ngw_forum), the transfer of authority and responsibility from one member to another is crucial and demands careful consideration.
Today, I had the phenomenal opportunity of addressing the incoming First Ladies of various States on following the appropriate Protocol and Etiquette during a panel session on the final day of the 2023 Governors’ Spouses Summit at Lagos Hall, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
I am confident the legacies left behind by the previous members will continue to shape our foundation and inspire the lives around us.
The panel topic, “The Role of a 21st Century First Lady”, which was moderated by the former First Lady of Ekiti State and Chair, Board of Trustees (NIGWF), HE Erelu Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi @bisiafayemi, had the First Lady of Kwara State, HE Amb. Dr. (Mrs.) Olufolake Abdulrazaq @firstladykwara, discuss on NIGWF’s code of conduct and operating principles.
The First Lady of Lagos, HE Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu @jokesanwoolu, spoke on Office and Image Management, First Lady of Kebbi, HE Dr. Zainab Bagudu @drzus, explained Navigating the terrain and set priorities while First Lady of Edo State, HE Mrs. Betsy Obaseki @betsy_obaseki, highlighted on Achieving Impact and First Lady of Delta State, HE Dame Edith Okowa @edithokowa spoke on lessons learnt as a First Lady.
The brilliant insights shared by these various brains throughout the well-organized interactive session were fascinating and quite entertaining.
