Hello everyone.
I am very excited and honored to formally take on the role of the National Democratic Institute’s Ambassador for Women’s Empowerment in Nigeria NDI.
I believe Nigeria has a special duty to serve as a shining light in Africa and in the rest of the world. I feel strongly this is something we all must strive for, Nigeria shine as a nation that values her women’s skills, energy and good ideas, and brings them into the public arena on an equal basis. Nigeria can and must be a country where our women and girls can dream big dreams, and pursue them, and rise according to their talents to become leaders in shaping a future that allows all of us to reach our full potential.
Together we can work toward this vision, and I hope you’ll join me.
Thank you.
