The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria has unveiled a new logo, symbolizing its evolution and future aspirations as it marks its 60th anniversary.
FIDA Nigeria’s Country Vice President and National President, Mrs. Amina Suzanah Agbaje, in her opening remarks, emphasized the significance of the 60th anniversary, expressing gratitude for the support the organization has received over the years.
“Today’s event is particularly significant because it provides an opportunity to reflect on our journey and celebrate our legacy. We have worked tirelessly to turn our vision of justice and equality into reality for indigent women and children. As we celebrate, we are also conscious of the work that lies ahead,” she said.
Reflecting on six decades of advocacy and impact, Agbaje highlighted FIDA Nigeria’s substantial contributions to securing landmark legislative victories, advancing gender-based violence mitigation, enhancing child protection, and empowering women through legal education.
She stated, “Today, as we mark this milestone, we are proud of the role we have played in shaping a more just and equitable society.”
The highlight of the event was the unveiling of FIDA Nigeria’s new logo, designed to reflect both the organization’s rich history and its future vision.
“This logo is more than just a symbol; it represents FIDA Nigeria’s renewed commitment to innovation, leadership, and justice. The new emblem emphasizes FIDA’s evolving role in mentoring the next generation of women lawyers, with a focus on legislative reforms and leadership opportunities for women and children,” Agbaje explained.
She explained further that the Triennial Conference scheduled for November 21st to 27th, 2024, in Abuja will be a grand affair, combining legal education with physical well-being and cultural celebrations.
She said key highlights include the 60 for 60 Outreach, “which aims to empower indigent women running small businesses, the unveiling of a National Shelter for survivors of gender-based violence, and several sessions on legal education and physical well-being. ‘
