The Wife of the Adamawa State Governor, Hajiya Dr. Lami Ahmadu Fintiri, has organised a two-day capacity-building workshop on stress management and body wellness for female stakeholders in Yola.
The workshop, held in Yola, brought together women leaders from across the state and focused on improving mental health, emotional resilience, and overall wellbeing.
Dr Lami Fintiri described the initiative as timely, noting that many women face increasing responsibilities at home, work, and within their communities.
She stressed that managing stress effectively is essential for maintaining good health and enhancing productivity.
Dr Lami Fintiri urged participants to apply the knowledge gained, support one another, and promote a culture of wellness across Adamawa State.
One of the facilitators, Dr. Jiddere Kaibo, provided detailed insights into stress management, highlighting its causes, warning signs, and long-term effects on physical and mental health.
She also outlined practical strategies, including healthy lifestyle choices, adequate rest, and seeking professional support when necessary.
The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Nedo Kufulto, emphasised the importance of mental health, noting that stress, if not properly managed, can affect both individual wellbeing and family stability.
She further encouraged women to recognise early signs of stress and adopt effective coping mechanisms in their daily lives.
Participants expressed appreciation for the initiative and pledged to apply the lessons learned in their communities.
