In a joint statement signed by AWEF and FEMAN, Advocacy for Widows Empowerment Foundation (AWEF) represented by Dele Ojo stated that as one of its projects for each year, “it is our desire to host widows to a night of fun and excitement to show them how much we love and care for them”.

According to a representative of FEMAN Maureen Ejezie who had a hit song in the 90s titled I Love Palmwine, “partnering with AWEF on this laudable event is part of our programme to celebrate our FEMAN Hall Of Fame project coming up on 2 December, as our way of giving back to humanity, especially widows who are dear to our hearts.”

To ensure a successful hosting of the event,  top female artistes, comedians, celebrities and Nollywood personalities are billed to make it a night to remember for widows.
