NASFAT President commends end of violence against women, girl’s team

The President of t Lahi Fatih Society (NASFAT), Mr. Niyi Yusuf, has commended the Society’s Secretariat and the EndVAWG Team responsible for the End Violence Against Women and Girls initiative for a successful campaign across six states of Lagos, Cross River, Adamawa, Sokoto, Ebonyi and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Mr. Yusuf in a statement he signed, also commended the NASFAT Secretariat for a clean sheet recorded from the just-concluded audit exercise done by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

He said PwC was the UNICEF-appointed auditors who gave the society a low-risk rating recognizing the accurate record keeping, financial transparency, and accountability by global standards.

According to the statement, the audit covered NASFAT’s financial, administrative, personnel management, procurement, and asset registry processes and included an in-depth review of the Society’s legal status, governance structures, and financial viability; programme management, organizational structure, and staffing, accounting policies and procedures, procurement processes, fixed assets and inventory, financial reporting and monitoring, among others.

“This commendation is well deserved, given that the audit was conducted, not just by third parties, but also included an audit firm of global repute”,  Yusuf said.

He stated: “This is not the first time UNICEF will be successfully collaborating with NASFAT. Aside from this recent EndVAWG project and the successful audit, NASFAT has in the past received several grants from UNICEF, one of them being the grant to carry out Project End Violence Against Children (EndVAC) between 2017 and  2018.”

The Chief Missioner of the Society, Imam Azeez  Onike, also commended the team for their commitment towards the cause of Allah (SWT) and thanked UNICEF for its partnership and trust in NASFAT to execute the various initiatives that have been embarked on by the soci”d ety for the benefit of humanity.

He specifically thanked the General Secretary of the society, Alhaji Gbenga Sunmonu; the Financial Secretary, Alhaja Kudirat Lawal, and the EndVAWG Focal Coordinator, Alhaja Ganiyat Babalola.

For a better society
