Islamic Singer Ruqoyaah Gawat Advocates For Women’s Rights

In the spirit of the International Women’s Day, famous Islamic singer, Alhaja Ruqoyaah Gawat-Oyefeso, has added her voice to the call for the rights of women in nation building without any encumbrance.

To this end, the highly spiritual singer, in collaboration with like-minded friends like Alhaja Tawakalitu Adunni Olorire, Hajia Monsurat Ojonla, Hajia Aishat Umuh Niyass, has put together an album entitled ‘Eto Obinrin’ (Rights of Women).

The album symbolically dwells on the inalienable rights of woman and the girl child.

This, interestingly, is in consonance with the demand and agitation of different groups and NGOs during the International Women’s Day celebration.

The album is in further celebration of women as the pillar of the home front and why they should not relegated to the background in the scheme of things by the menfolk on account of their gender.

The album will be released on 13 March, 2017 on the stable of Okiki Films & Music Productions.

Recently, the very industrious and meticulous Ruqoyaah was crowned the ‘Sheikha of Music’ at the Maolid Nabiyy and Award Presentation of Morkaz Ogombo in Ajah, Eti-Osa Local Government area of Lagos.

Ruqoyaah, a graduate of Mass Communication from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye Ogun State, has distinguished herself in impacting good morals to women through her music.

She is adjudged to be one of the best Islamic musicians around.
