We discussed her background and the crucial role her disciplined parents played in her personal development. She shared how her parents’ unwavering commitment to her and her siblings’ education shaped her path to success.

They instilled the value of aiming high and provided everything they needed. I encouraged Aminat to use her voice as a champion for vulnerable communities and to promote initiatives tailored to their needs. Together, we can create opportunities for those who need it most.”
