KIND President, Dr Hafsat Abiola-Costello receives Goi Peace Award

Posted on 11.09.16 by KIND ORGANISATION

We are pleased to announce that KIND President, Dr Hafsat Abiola-Costello is receiving an award in Japan this month.
VV-1
Below is an excerpt from the letter she received from Naomi Yamazaki the Secretary-General of the  Goi Peace Foundation.
HAFSAT ABIOLA-COSTELLO | Honoree Narrative

 “Guard your light and protect it. Move it forward into the world and be fully confident that if we connect light to light to light, and join the lights together…we will be enough to set our whole planet aglow.”

“Hafsat Abiola-Costello believes that our world needs more than a few exemplary women leaders, it needs a groundswell. Since age 19, she’s been stirring up activism in fellow Nigerians, fueling movements for democracy, gender equality and women’s leadership in her country and throughout Africa.

“Born into a prominent political family, Hafsat embraced her own call to leadership in a time of crisis. After nearly 30 years of military rule in Nigeria, democratic elections were held in 1993, when Hafsat was an undergraduate studying in the United States.

“Her father Moshood won in a landslide victory, setting in motion a pro-democracy movement that the military had never anticipated. The election was quickly annulled and Moshood was imprisoned. Hafsat’s mother Kudirat began a bold campaign for her husband’s release, and Hafsat rallied support across the United States.”
