“Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, you have always been a trailblazer, a cognate professional and someone to inspire and admire by all. I love your can-do spirit, passion for breaking the paradigm and your advocacy against gender discrimination is a motivation for me. It came as no surprise thus, your recent conferment of an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Art by the Igbinedion University. It is thoroughly deserved. I appreciate you and further wish you more years of immense feats. Congratulations sister!” she said.
