As spouses of state governors, we are uniquely positioned to champion the rights and well-being of women and children in Nigeria.
The Nigeria Governors' Spouses' Forum (NGSF) is a coalition of the spouses of the governors of Nigeria’s 36 states. Our forum is dedicated to promoting social justice, improving public health, enhancing educational opportunities, and empowering women and children throughout the country.
In June 2020, at the height of the COVID 19 pandemic, Nigerian Governors’ Wives came together to establish a forum known as Nigerian Governors Wives against Gender Based Violence (NGWA-GBV). What started as a small working group for interested Governors spouses has now become a flagship program of the Nigeria Governors Spouses’ Forum, with all Governors’ spouses involved.
