In a significant push for gender equality and youth empowerment, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Zuriel Oduwole and Sterling One Foundation have joined forces with Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The trio emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for young leaders during a courtesy visit to the Governor’s Office.
At just 22 years old, Oduwole is the youngest Nigerian ever nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and her global advocacy has influenced policies and engaged key decision-makers across multiple countries.
Sterling One Foundation has also mainstreamed gender equality and women’s empowerment across all its initiatives, ensuring young women and girls have access to resources, platforms, and opportunities.
Olapeju Ibekwe, CEO of Sterling One Foundation, highlighted the importance of telling African stories and driving impact through intentional programming. “We are intentional about telling African stories that reflect the strength and potential of our people.
This aligns with the call to ‘Accelerate Action’ this International Women’s Day, reinforcing the urgency of breaking barriers for women and girls”.
Governor Sanwo-Olu recognized Oduwole’s contributions, describing her Nobel Peace Prize nomination as a milestone for Nigeria and the African continent.
“This achievement reflects the resilience and determination of our people. Lagos is proud to support Zuriel’s journey and work with the Sterling One Foundation to expand opportunities for the next generation”.
Oduwole emphasized the power of storytelling in driving social change.
“I have seen the power of storytelling in changing perceptions and opening doors for young people. When we share our stories, we inspire action”.
