“H.E. Chief. Dr. Folasade Tinubu-Ojo has demonstrated exceptional leadership in her efforts to uplift the status of women and children in Nigeria and beyond. As a role model and mentor, her advocacy has not only empowered women economically but has also been pivotal in advocating for educational reforms and health initiatives. This year, as we celebrate her birthday, it is also an opportunity to recognise the vital contributions she has made to sustainable development and social justice.
“In her own words, H.E. Chief. Dr. Folasade Tinubu-Ojo once stated, “Empowering women and fostering sustainable practices are not just goals; they are essential for the advancement of our societies and the future of our children” (Tinubu-Ojo, 2022). This ethos drives her work at the World Sustainable Development Goals Organization, where she tirelessly campaigns for a more equitable and sustainable future for all Africans.
“Under her guidance, the organisation has embarked on numerous initiatives aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From grassroots programmes that uplift local communities to large-scale campaigns advocating for climate action, her leadership exemplifies what is possible when passion meets dedication. One such initiative is the “Women for Sustainable Development” programme, which focuses on training women in energy efficiency and sustainable agriculture practices. This programme has not only equipped women with necessary skills but has also significantly contributed to the local economy.
“On this special occasion, it is incumbent upon us as a community to express our gratitude to H.E. Chief. Dr. Folasade Tinubu-Ojo. Her tireless efforts in promoting social responsibility and sustainability serve as a beacon of hope. Her work goes beyond borders, influencing policies and encouraging partnerships that resonate with the goals set forth in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
