Jos—The Plateau State chapter of Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, has appealed to women in the state irrespective of tribe, political and religious affiliations to encourage their spouses and children not to engage in any activity that would scuttle peace in the country during and after the general elections.

Chairperson of the association, Mrs. Jennifer Yerima, spoke while addressing the women yesterday in Jos during a one-day seminar organised by NAWOJ.

She said the event was aimed at sensitising them on the need for free, fair and peaceful elections.

She urged the participants to remember that women and children always bore the brunt of every crisis, as they were the ones left widowed and childless as their husbands and sons get killed in crises.
