The Federal Ministry of Women
Affairs through the National Centre for Women Development, Abuja, has listed 22
women to be inducted into the Nigerian Women Hall of Fame, including the late
Alhaja Kudirat Abiola and the late Dr Stella Adadevoh.
The NCWD said the women, who
would be inducted by June 10, two days to the Democracy Day, were selected for
their iconic contributions to national development.
The induction is themed, “Celebrating
Nigerian Women Icons of Hope.”
Adadevoh, who died in August
2014, was a Nigerian doctor who helped to curb the spread of the Ebola virus by
ensuring that a Liberian patient, Patrick Sawyer, remained quarantined despite
pressures from his country.
Kudirat was assassinated on June
9, 1996, during the heat of the June 12 struggle for democratic freedom in
Nigeria.
