Good morning our hosting Pastor Felicia Igbinoba, the

congregation of the Shadow of the Almighty Ministry,

NWAG Members and Executives.

This is a special day for NWAG, as NWAG celebrates 15

years of meritorious service to the community and

humanity. Wow! It was widely believed that we would not

survive a year as soon as Mrs. Keshi our Founder leaves

Atlanta. We are 15 years and still counting. We give all the

thanks and Praise to our Almighty God…... without Him;

we would not have been able to achieve all the glorious

milestones that has made NWAG a household name in

these 15 years of service.

I will like to thank our Founder, Mrs. Dayo Keshi for her

great vision, all our Past Presidents Dr. Winifred Nweke,

Ms. Mfon Ufot and Dr. Eugenia ‘Busola George and all our

past Executives and current Executives, as well as, all our

members without whom this mission would not be

possible.

The history of NWAG started in Mrs. Keshi’s house, then

the Consul General’s Wife. Present were Mrs. Keshi, Mrs.
