The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Kaduna State Chapter, has called on the Kaduna State Government to urgently address the persistent electricity challenges affecting parts of the state. This formed part of the resolutions reached at the Association\u2019s Congress held in Kaduna on October 24, 2025.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, members deliberated extensively on issues affecting the state, with a particular focus on the welfare of women and children.<\/p>\n
In its communiqu\u00e9, the Congress expressed deep concern over the irregular power supply that continues to cripple businesses and reduce the quality of life of residents. The association urged relevant agencies to intensify efforts in restoring stable electricity across affected areas.<\/p>\n
NAWOJ Kaduna also commended the State Government for emerging third in the Nigeria Climate Governance Ranking, describing the recognition as a testament to its dedication to environmental sustainability and responsible climate action.<\/p>\n
On public safety, the association raised alarm over the growing activities of scavengers across the state, warning that the trend poses threats to public health, security, and the environment. It called on authorities to properly regulate and monitor scavenging to maintain order and hygiene.<\/p>\n
In the health sector, NAWOJ applauded the ongoing Measles Vaccination Campaign spearheaded by the State Government and its health partners. The group encouraged parents and caregivers to ensure their children are immunized, emphasizing that collective participation would protect children from preventable diseases.<\/p>\n
The Congress also lauded the Kaduna State Government\u2019s commitment to hosting the 2026 Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) Week, expressing optimism that the event will further enhance professionalism, strengthen collaboration, and boost the state\u2019s image.<\/p>\n
Reaffirming its commitment to ethical journalism, NAWOJ Kaduna pledged to continue championing the cause of women and children, while promoting good governance and community development across the state and Nigeria.<\/p>\n
