The Western Branch of the Naval Wives Association (NAWA), led by their Coordinator, Mrs Vivian Billins Nyam, paid a courtesy call on the Western Regional Minister, Honourable Joseph Nelson, on Monday 26 October 2026, at the Western Regional Coordinating Council. The visit provided an opportunity for the members of the Association to formally introduce themselves to the Regional Minister and outline their intention to undertake initiatives aimed at empowering young women in the Western Region.
In his remarks, Honourable Nelson encouraged members of the Association to continue supporting their husbands in their professional and personal lives so they could maintain sound minds and remain focused on their responsibilities to the Ghana Navy. He urged the women to continue fostering peaceful, supportive home environments that would boost their husbands' morale and operational effectiveness.
The Regional Minister further assured the Association of his availability for engagements and discussions and noted that his doors remained open to the Association whenever the need arose. As part of the visit, the Association presented NAWA-branded souvenirs to the Regional Minister as a gesture of goodwill and appreciation.
The courtesy call underscored the importance of cooperation between the NAWA and regional leadership in promoting the welfare of naval families and strengthening civil-military relations in the Western Region.
