Earlier in her remarks, the President of DEPOWA, Mrs Victoria Irabor maintained that the association has evolved to become an organization focused on providing support to wives of personnel and their families towards achieving a healthy military community. She further stated that this is in line with her pet project tagged “Uniting Our Voices First”, adding that DEPOWA is seeking the collaboration of the NA to provide solutions that will adequately address the causes of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) faced by personnel.

Mrs Irabor asserted that military personnel have over the years suffered physical injuries, depression and emotional trauma accumulated from experiences in the theatres of operations, pointing out that traits such as nightmares, anxiety and outbursts of anger are usually triggered in response to trauma and are indicators of PTSD. The DEPOWA President used the medium to intimate the COAS on her proposal to establish a PTSD Evaluation and Rehabilitation Centre to evaluate, counsel and provide adequate support to personnel and their spouses prior to reintegration at the end of their operational tour of duty from the various theatres of operations.

She was accompanied on the visit by the National President NAOWA, Mrs Fati Attahiru, National President NOWA, Hajiya Aisha Gambo and the National President, NAFOWA, Mrs Elizabeth Amao among others. Also present at the event were Principal Staff Officers and Directors from Army Headquarters.

Highlight of the visit was the presentation of souvenir, signing of visitors’ book and a group photograph.
