According to Obasa, Princess Orelope-Adefulire’s leadership style, commitment to service and dedication to whatever responsibilities placed before her have consistently marked her out as one to be celebrated.

“As the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), our former Deputy Governor is known to have initiated and implemented many strategic intervention programmes that have assisted in the growth and progress of Nigeria,” the Speaker said.

Noting that such interventions have helped to resolve challenges in the education and economic sectors of the country, Obasa said Princess Orelope-Adefulire remains a cherished asset to Nigeria.

“Through her office, the Federal Government has intervened in the areas of women empowerment, support for children and creation of skills acquisition centres spread across the country.

“It is on record that as Deputy Governor of Lagos, Princess Orelope-Adefulire co-sponsored the Child Right’s Law and the Domestic Violence Law in Lagos State (2007).

“She is noted to have also facilitated the establishment of 22 functional skills acquisition centres for the unemployed. The 176-bed transit home for the victims of domestic violence and abuse still stands as a testament of her passion for a better Nigeria.
