IN SHORT

Through The Centre for Women & Adolescent Empowerment, Asma’u Joda continues to do what makes her most happy: filling the lives of others with happiness. She has displayed a lifelong thirst for social justice and service to the community, particularly when it comes to empowering women, adolescents and children. “I want to see more women out there because they make better leaders. If women are kept out of the business of government, Nigeria isn’t going anywhere. The few women who are in government are unfortunately acting like men, but we need women who can do business as women.”
