The Nigerian Army Officers’ Wives Association (NAOWA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization with the objectives of assisting the poor and the needy and raising the standard of living in the barracks of the nation.
Since the association is non-governmental and non-profit making with no subvention from either federal or state government, most of its programmes are derived through the benevolence of individuals and corporate bodies.
The vocational training centers are designed to complement the welfare programs of the Nigerian Army and the federal government.
Additionally, the center aims to assist military personnel in acquiring basic skills to become self-sustaining and self-reliant upon retirement.
NAOWA publishes a magazine as the mouthpiece of the association, showcasing its activities and write-up on topical issues, opinion and comments, socio-cultural, entertainment and political events across the globe.
