In her words,“ I choose to engage in this campaign called ” Rage Against Rape” because at this time, their is urgent need for an end to the incessant rape encountered on daily basis by young and innocent girls across the country. The scourge is growing rapidly as brothers are raping their own sisters, fathers raping their own daughters and masters their maids. We believe that with campaigns like this,we can overcome it and also preserve the dignity of our female children"

“This is the reason we have set up the Jasmine Foundation, so that after my one year reign as the Most Beautiful Student In Nigeria Democracy,we can still use the platform of the foundation to empower students in tertiary institution and preserve the dignity of female student,” she said. She listed bead making, soap making,tailoring, hair making, small scale business and other profitable ventures as some of the ventures that the 5000 female students will be taught, while stating that each student will through the Queen Jasmine Foundation receive N50,000 each as a start up capital which will be refundable without any interest.
