I am Nala because I take action to promote civic, political, social and economic participation of women, as a minister. I am Nala because I stand with all Nigerian women and young girls, as a Nigerian. I am Nala because I serve everyday to advance gender equality, as a woman leader.

Nalafem is about the power of young women as agents of change. I am because I believe young women leaders can expose patriarchal systems and break the generational cycle of poverty

I would like to applaud Nalafem because it has created a space that exposed me to a lot of people with different backgrounds and skills, from different countries. We came to COP27, and we voiced out messages of women and girls back in our communities

We are all Nala, and we will not stop until we have achieved full gender equality grounded in justice, trust and accountability. Together we will build the Africa we want

I am Nala because I get alot of energy from interactions of leadership among young women. I am Nala because I want you lean on my tired shoulders

We can look at Nala and say ‘Oh dear! Our successors are here, and it’s a beautiful feeling to see this level of self-awareness, the power that you individually carry and the greatness that you will collectively do for our continent.
