The theme of this year’s celebration is International Social Work Day Celebration: Promoting importance of human relationships and accountability.
A statement by the Secretary, Lagos State chapter of members of the association, Mr Mathew Odesanya, said the group would also embark on psycho-social support services to the public.
The Chairperson of the association, Mrs Adetoun Ogegengbe, said the group would, among other roles, promote quality service to its clients, while making the work environment enjoyable to its members in Nigeria.
