"Even as a student I was already interested in helping girls enter science. At one time my plan was to provide scholarships to secondary school girls, but when I won the LOREAL-UNESCO For Women in Science Award I began to aim much higher."

"I have been working with the Nigerian branch of TWOWS (Third World Organization for Women in Science) to encourage women in their research projects and to encourage them to become leaders in our profession. At a meeting of this organization in Cape Town, South Africa I am proud to say that several other LOREAL-UNESCO For Women in Science Laureates were in attendance. In fact, I took a tape of the 1998 ceremony to show everyone there that LOREAL and UNESCO really are doing something for women in science."
