Farewell Mother of Nigerian Women
Mama Hilda Adefarasin will be remembered as one of the greatest women in the history of Nigeria.
She was a household name among all women in the 1980s..
Mama has chosen the International Women's Month for her transition to eternal glory at the grand old age of 98 years.
I wonder if there are still great women like her in Nigeria.
We should have an annual Hilda Adefarasin Prize for outstanding women in leadership.
Hilda Adefarasin (9 January 1925 – 5 February 2023) was a Nigerian women's rights activist who was the president of the National Council of Women's Societies (NCWS). She left her nursing profession in 1969 to concentrate on professional activities of the NCWS. In 1971, she was the council's treasurer and in 1987, she became the President.
