Kwara Garment Factory Hosts Women Accountants on Community Development Initiatives
The Kwara State Garment Factory has today received the Society of Women Accountants of Nigeria (SWAN), Ilorin Chapter, as part of its ongoing efforts to foster partnerships that promote humanitarian and professional development in the State.
The Managing Director of the Factory, Hajia Bukola Adedeji, who welcomed the SWAN members at the factory’s head office in Ilorin, commended the association for its impactful initiatives aimed at empowering young girls, promoting professional growth among women accountants, and supporting vulnerable communities. She assured SWAN of Kwara Garment Factory's commitment to supporting their programmes, particularly their outreach to special needs children and other community-based projects.
"We recognise and appreciate the importance of your mission. At Kwara Garment Factory, we are passionate about giving back to society, and we see this partnership as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully," Hajia Adedeji stated.
Reaffirming their commitment, Hajia Adedeji pledged donations of additional mats to the correctional centre and support towards SWAN’s planned visit to the School for Special Needs on Children's Day, 27th May, 2025. She also lauded the association’s efforts in championing causes that align with the factory’s corporate social responsibility goals.
Earlier in her remarks, the SWAN Chairperson, Queen Moji Afolayan, outlined the association's objectives, which included promoting the accounting profession among young girls through school sensitization programmes, offering scholarships, and engaging in community outreaches and donations to Motherless Homes. She highlighted recent projects such as the donation of mats to the Kwara Correctional Centre and the installation of a solar-powered borehole in a rural village.
"Empowering our communities, especially the girl-child, remains at the heart of our vision. We are glad to collaborate with forward-thinking institutions like the Kwara Garment Factory to further our impact," Afolayan remarked.
The visit was also marked by a ceremonial exchange of gifts, as SWAN presented an appreciation gift to the Managing Director. In return, Hajia Adedeji gifted the visiting members with branded polo shirts from the Kwara Garment Factory, symbolising a budding partnership between both organisations.
SWAN’s Secretary, Hajia Barakat Ololu, expressed heartfelt appreciation for the warm hospitality and the factory’s readiness to support their initiatives.
The courtesy visit concluded on a high note, with both parties reaffirming their shared commitment to community development, women empowerment, and nurturing future leaders.
