Barrister Timipre who is passionate about creating opportunities for women and girls shares that she drew from a personal experience of losing her mother at a tender age of 12. There were enormous challenges she had to confront in her quest of pursuing her educational dreams and ambitions. She stated that while she was serving as the youngest member of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund’s Management as pioneer Head of the Fund’s Industry Collaboration Unit, she and her team initiated a number of life-transforming capacity building initiatives for youths across Nigeria, including pioneering the training of young Nigerians as internationally certified commercial helicopter pilots for the petroleum industry.

Barrister Timipre further stated that she found purpose in the course of service as during this time, she saw first-hand how education can transform lives. This fuelled her passion to continue to contribute towards ensuring that young girls have access to education and opportunities to unlock their potentials. She believes that education is the key that unlocks endless possibilities and that empowering women is the necessary tool for achieving sustainable development.
