"It is an honor indeed to be given an award for the Woman of the Year. Woman of the Year is a very powerful recognition. I remember five years ago, the Democracy Year Award gave me the award for the Best First Lady of the Year, this was whole five years ago and I had a bit of relationship with the award for quiet a long time and it is good to see that it is growing bigger and stronger. So this, uhmm yeah, being named the Woman of the Year is really very heart warming because it resonates and shows me that people are noticing what we are doing. People are watching and listening. I love the fact that it is a voting sort of award. The ceremony is not just nominations. The people actually voted. I want to really thank those out there that took the time to vote for me to become "Woman of the Year 2025". This obviously, you know, as you asked, is a powerful testimony at what we have being doing and it will continue to spur me on to do even more..."

"..Because we notice that some girls did not go to school five days in a month, we have being working as first ladies with partners to be able to get sanitary pads for this girls, so that they dont miss school. But now we are so happy with the support of the First Lady of Nigeria weve being able to reach more people. So being a humanitarian I will say is in my blood, and Im very very happy to continue to do it."
