The Chartered Institute of Social Work Practitioners of Nigeria (ISOWN) has urged the 36 State governors of the Federation and the State Houses of Assembly to
“With these in mind, Social Workers continue to ensure that social problems are addressed; engage people from different levels through empowerment processes in order to help them to reach their fullest potentials thereby shaping our society for the better.
“The entrance of this Chartered Institute will help galvanise professionals and control the professional practice. It is worthy of note at a time like this that, there is need for the institutionalization of strategic government partners to help the understanding of our economic realities, new strategies and goals, improve existing capabilities and draw up action plans to help address social concerns.
“Membership will be open to Social Workers at the Officers level, Assistant level and Auxiliary level as well. Registration will be made available to qualified persons on all social work desks across MDAs, Civil Societies and International Development Agencies.
