Speaking further, the group commended her simplicity and unassuming nature despite her exceptional achievements and advised women to follow the footsteps of these kind of women who have made tremendous impact in the society, their careers and at the same time, found a balance between professional and family life, realizing the importance of family in the traditional African society and ensuring that both aspects of their life are nurtured. These, to the group, are the champions.

The group prayed for more success and wished her well in all her future endeavor.
