COWLSO Conference: Break Barriers for Growth, Tinubu Tells Women

The wife of the president, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has advised women to be ready to break barriers and challenge stereotypes if they want to unleash their potential.

Senator Tinubu stated this while declaring open the twenty-third National Women’s Conference organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO, with the theme, “Unleash Your Potential,” in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Senator Tinubu, who revived COWLSO when her husband, now President Bola Tinubu, was Governor of Lagos State, praised the doggedness of women who had ensured the sustenance of the ideals of the committee.

Recognising the importance of women to national development, Senator Tinubu said women had much potential, and they needed to defy the odds to contribute to national development.

Senator Tinubu acknowledged that women faced more challenges in various endeavours and urged them to be ready to seek help if they ran into difficulty while working on their goals.

The Chairperson of COWLSO and Wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, urged women to think outside of the box and be relevant in society.

In a goodwill message, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu called on women to seize the opportunity of the conference to unleash their potential, rebirth and reshape themselves to see the fullness of all their skills for them to contribute positively to nation-building.

Present at the event were the wife of the Senate President, Mrs Ekaette Akpabio, and wives of governors of Oyo, Osun, Ogun, and Kwara states, among others.
