    This document deals with the history, structure and educational activities of FOMWAN, Minna – Niger State chapter. The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN) is an umbrella association of all Muslim women’s organizations in the country. FOMWAN's vision is for a world where women are empowered to be role models who can have positive in religious and secular matters. The association’s mission is a world where women are educated and prepared for an equitable and peaceful society. FOMWAN was established in the town of Minna in 1985 where the founding member, Late Hajiya Aisha Lemu, lived. This particular state chapter (Niger) has developed comparatively better than the chapters in other states, especially in terms of educational development. This is because FOMWAN Minna has one of the largest comprehensive schools that are independently run by the association and approved by the state ministry of education. Their schools have received numerous awards of excellence and are well-known for their state of the art best practices, conducive learning environment, and well-trained staff. The document was published in 2019.
