A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has named several leading women as role models for young women in Nigeria.

Ezekwesili began a campaign on Thursday on popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter to help young women follow fellow women they admire in order to reach their goals.

Among the names she nominated as role models for young women are Nollywood actresses, Joke Silva, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Adesua Etomi.

She also nominated the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) journalist, Kiki Mordi.

Ezekwesili also named Nigerian music video director, filmmaker, and television director, Kemi Adetiba, journalist Kadaria Ahmed, beauty entrepreneur and lawyer, Tara Fela-Durotoye; CNN journalist, Stephanie Busari among others.

U left out mercy, tachA, tonto, and a host of others
That are driving the minds of young girls out dere

I concur with her

Mrs oby, we are going to fight if you dont include cossy, toke makinwa, ini edo and patience jonathan

Mercy and Tacha fans are coming for her

ggg

true

Birds of a feather

These women have paid their dues in their careers. They focused on their works and paid little attention to their looks.

It is easy to love a woman who has done well in her endeavors than one who has done work on her beauty.
