About COWLSO

 

The Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) is a community-based gender organisation working to complement the efforts of the Lagos State Government to promote child healthcare, empower women to discover their hidden treasures, and protect our environment.

COWLSO was founded in 1974 by the late Mrs. Obafunmilayo Johnson, wife of the first Military Administrator of Lagos State. It was revitalized in 2000 by Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the then First Lady of Lagos State, after years of inactivity.
