A Day of Impact & Legacy: SWAN Ibadan Chapter’s End of Year Dinner and Visit to Tabitha Home, By Sileola Akinbowale

To God be all the glory for a day beautifully defined by compassion, excellence, and Purpose.

Our visit to Tabitha Home Orphanage reminded us that true leadership is measured by lives touched and hope restored — a powerful reflection of the heart of SWAN.

As the evening unfolded at the Jogor Centre, we gathered for the SWAN End-of-Year Party, Annual Dinner & Awards, graced by the presence of the Elders of ICAN Ibadan & District Society, the 25th Chairman, past Chairmen, past SWAN Ibadan Chapter Chairpersons, and other distinguished guests.

We were further honoured by the solidarity and support of our two professional groups — Women in Aviation and Women in Banking & Finance — adding depth, prestige, and unity to the occasion.

We proudly honoured our distinguished awardees — Queen Folasade Fadipe, FCA; Queen Fatima Giwa, FCA; Queen Joyce Igheghe, FCA; and Elder Adetunji Adepeju, FCA — whose unwavering support and exemplary leadership continue to strengthen SWAN.

In a defining moment, we proudly launched The Cygnet (Second Edition) and unveiled the SWAN 2026 Calendar — enduring symbols of our voice, vision, and commitment to empowering women to lead with purpose.

From a morning of compassion to an evening of celebration, the day affirmed that SWAN is not just an association — it is a movement.

Up SWAN! Up ICAN! WOI
