“You have shown that, being a member of SWAN yourself, we will not be left behind in any of the FA activities.”
“In the history of SWAN in Nasarawa State, we had not been able to get such support from anyone, but you gave us your full support. We want to thank you for demonstrating a high level of trust in us.”
