"We are team of researchers at Nnamdi Azikiwe University."

"We were awarded a research grant by World Health Organisation (WHO), to research in Social Innovation in Health"

"Social innovation in health started in 2014 and at that time WHO."

"Collaborated with London School of Tropical Medicine and discovered that certain diseases were found in Africa."

"So it is time for us to start looking within and to find solutions within ourselves and some vulnerable groups in remote areas to know some of their problems."

"Our objective is to look into issues related to communicable diseases, maternal and child health and even non communicable disease and access to quality healthcare."

"When they started working in these countries, WHO decided that they should also increase the number of countries that can use this initiative."

"HOBs had to get other HOBs from other countries and that is how Nigeria and Ghana got involved."

"The only way women’s contribution to national development can be appreciated is by electing a woman as president."

"Only 10 women across Nigeria got elected into the House of Representatives with 360 members, while only six women got into the Senate with 109 members."

"This has resulted in an unequal power relationship between women and men, social norms decrease, education and paid employment opportunities for women."

"Despite the odds, women should persist and continue to prove that when they lead."

"They bring transformational changes to entire communities and the world at large."
