"A ruby is a valued and precious stone. As precious as rubies are, they have imperfections in them. I am a woman of rubies because I am a precious and valued daughter of God."

"The ‘Go Girl’ board game teaches girls about their rights and leadership in a fun, exciting way."

"It is focused on educating the children at one of the internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in Abuja on abuse, molestation, rape and all sorts of abuse they could encounter at home or at school."

"I literally saw how education was transforming my life and I knew that there was no way I would sit back and not help other children, especially girls."

"I started removing the barriers that would prevent children from enrolling, staying, excelling and graduating from school."

"You would find me providing sanitary pads for girls to enable them stay in school or providing free books to children in and out of school to inspire them to either get enrolled or complete their education."

"There’s the ‘He for Her’ campaign brings boys into the conversation, showing them how to be allies."

"My current project is the Community Empowerment Against Violence and Abuse."

"We run initiatives like the HER Safe Space Clubs, where girls learn about their rights, safety, and reproductive health right there in school."

"It’s about building an ecosystem of support, ensuring girls are not just in school, but that they are seen, safe, and heard."

"Beyond the Classroom has become a way of saying, “I see you. You matter. You’re not alone."

"Each one focuses on a different part of the puzzle. For example, with the ‘Books Over Boys’ campaign and booklet, girls learn about the value of education and how unplanned pregnancy can disrupt their dreams."
