Maryam Babangida, the wife of Nigeria’s former military president was easily the country’s most prominent first lady interms of impact and answering personality.
The best tribute that can be paid to her now is for women in similar positions to duplicate her and overcome their Ego by using the present existence to affect others, especially the less privileged. She founded the Better Life Programme for Rural Women in 1987 which launched many co-operatives, cottage industries, farms and gardens, shops and markets, women’s centres and social welfare programs.
She was indeed an Epitome of beauty, kindness and progress to the nation and humanity. She was indeed a wife, mother, women support and a mother to the nation “NIGERIA”.
Friday, 27th December, 2019 will make it exactly 10yrs (a decade) she left this world, may she continue to rest. She is gone but her good works lives on!
