The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) has sought a partnership with the Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria (ARCN) to help move women farmers from subsistence to commercial farming, as part of efforts to improve food security and boost women’s economic empowerment.
The call was made during a courtesy visit by NAWOJ to the council, where the Vice President, Zone D, and Deputy Editor of Blueprint Newspaper, Chizoba Ogbeche, said the association was shifting focus from internal professional development to amplifying the voices of women, the vulnerable, and persons with disabilities.
