She said, “As an individual and a woman, I recognise the important roles females play in the development of any society, reason I team with some well meaning and notable celebrities that understand the challenges of the girl-child in our society as well as the rest of the world to celebrate the girl child.

“It is part of the pet project I had in mind while I was in office as Miss Ideal Nigeria. As a queen, I’m given to the good course of not just the girl-child, but also the less privilege in our society, with encouraging and empowering them through the little initiatives that will make life more better and easier for them,” Osamor added.
