‘I’m just one out of the many untiring voices for #BringBackOurGirls,’- Oby Ezekwesili says about being listed in TIME 100

Former Wold Bank vice-president and #BringBackOurGirls big campaigner, Oby Ezekwesili was listed in TIME magazine's "100 Most Influential People" in the world for her role, since the Chibok girls were abducted. 

She is honoured alongside Nigeria’s President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari and award-winning novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Reacting to this, she said;

“I frankly have never been a fan of these awards. I am however delighted to be on theTIME100 list for the sake of our continuing and persistent campaign for our Government to rescue our abducted 219 Chibok Girls. The girls are a symbol of thousands more women and children that have been displaced and kidnapped, and I dedicate this recognition to all of them.  I am just one out of the many untiring voices that make up our #BringBackOurGirls Family especially here in Nigeria and all over the world.  We shall not stop standing and demanding until justice is done our ChibokGirls — they must be rescued”.

In 2006, Ezekwesili was reported to have been the first woman to receive the third highest Nigerian National Honor of Commander of the Federal Republic–CFR.
