NAWOJ FCT has indeed lost a media icon and an exceptional personality!
Rafat was not only a distinguished broadcast journalist with the Voice of Nigeria (VON), but also a former Secretary of the NUJ FCT Council, and the current Treasurer of the International Press Institute (IPI).
She was a beacon of excellence, integrity, and professionalism in the field of journalism. Her contribution to the journalism profession, her mentorship, and her unwavering dedication to truth and justice will forever be remembered.
We are deeply saddened by this loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with her family, colleagues, and all who were fortunate to know her. We all will miss Rafat!
May her soul rest in perfect peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire us all.
