"Her concern for education was further demonstrated by the construction of the Sango Mosque in Ibadan, during the 1960’s. In this Mosque she personally paid a group of teachers to provide a free or cheap Muslim education for children.Being initially a unifying figure between the AG and the market-sellers, she became an intermediator between women’s organisations and market women, together with Mama Humuani Alade, another wealthy trader.Her stature and contribution were recognised by the British who awarded her, in June 1961, the prestigious title of Member of the British Empire."From a political point of view, she was one of the founders of the AG women’s wing in 1953. For merchants, she was the veritable AG voice in the market : she organized market women for party campaigns, she taught them songs and gave gifts to thank them for their affiliation to the party.""Her wealth and trade abilities, coupled with her charisma, a strong religious commitment – attested by her pilgrimage to Mecca in 1954 – and a particular concern for merchants’ rights, led her to become a rallying figure for merchants, a personality able to mobilise a great number of people, for economic and socio-political goals.""
