In a rare convergence of law, media, and tourism, the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ in Ekiti State has secured both moral and financial backing from a renowned legal luminary, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) to stage a public lecture on the proposed Special Seats Bill for Women in Nigeria.

The support came up when NAWOJ, led by the Director-General of the Ekiti State Bureau of Tourism Development, Amb. Wale Ojo-Lanre, paid a courtesy visit to the Senior Advocate at his country home in Ikere-Ekiti.

The visit, initially planned to brief the legal icon on NAWOJ’s civic enlightenment drive, quickly turned into a strategy session.

Moved by the journalists’ presentation on the bill seeking to create additional reserved seats for women in the National and State Assemblies, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria immediately pledged to support the public lecture.
