books sales will be dedicated to empowering the mothers of the Chibok
girls and other victims of similar situations in Nigeria. She said,
“My natural passion for beauty and fashion developed the
unique interest to work, teach and mentor young ones on beauty and
fashion.
With over 10 years in the beauty industry, I have trained, mentored
and empowered hundreds of young Nigerians in different areas such as
facial, skin and body care.
It is on this note, l’m dedicating this event and the proceeds from
the sales of the books to be used to empower the mothers of the Chibok
girls. Others are Buni Yadi boys murdered in their sleep in 2014 as well
as support the malnourished children in the different Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps and other children in such situation
across the country.
As a mother, my heart is always with the parents of these children; I
bear their pains and believe that this is one of the efforts to console
them. The parents of these children brought to this event to witness
this event is an indication that at individual levels a lot can be done
to alleviate their hardship.y also dedicated the proceeds from the sale
of the books to be used to empower the mothers of the Chibok girls.”
