The Press Conference was organised by a coalition of Women Organisations: Women In Politics Forum - WIPF, Nigeria Women Trust Fund - NWTF & WFM 91.7 (The first and only radio station in Nigeria dedicated to women's issues).

I said I would put my expertise as an experienced gender/conflict transformation expert at their disposal.
