The women representative of the All Progressives Congress, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, Stella Okotete, is organising a two-day capacity-building workshop for all executives of the Progressive Young Women Forum, PYWF, from September 7 to 8 in Abuja.

In a statement on Wednesday by the Interim Publicity Secretary, Theresa Tekenah, the workshop presents an opportunity for the PYWF executives to identify with the processes, responsibilities and duties expected of them and create a blueprint of responsibilities for members of the Forum.

The workshop would also be an avenue to orientate the executives on the mandate and objectives of the Forum.
