Over 15,000 Nigerian women cutting across diverse socio-economic
backgrounds converged in Abuja on Thursday (August 15, 2013) for a mega rally
and carnival award ceremony to advance the cause of peace and women empowerment
in the country. The epoch-making event was organized by the National Council of
Women Societies (NCWS) in collaboration with the office of the First Lady of
the Federation.
Carnival floats by women from all works of life across the
states of the Federation and the FCT took off at 10 am, from old parade ground,
to area1, berger, wuse,nnpc towers rounding off at the eagle square
The colourful event featured performances by popular artistes,
including Onyeka Onwenu and kc of the Limpopo craze.
Though a lot of “Abujans” had a great time, cheering for the
floats, taking pictures and even dancing with the traditional troupes there
were quite a few disgruntled people due to the traffic caused.
