"South-South Women: The True Icons Behind My Crown" by Hon. Gift Johnbull.


With heartfelt gratitude and deep humility, I accept the prestigious African Icon Women Recognition Award 2025. This honor is not mine alone—it belongs to every extraordinary woman across the South-South region of Nigeria.

As the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-South), I dedicate this award to the powerful women who rise each day with purpose, passion, and pride. From the riverine communities to bustling towns, our women are the quiet force behind progress—the mothers, farmers, traders, teachers, professionals, and young visionaries who refuse to be limited by circumstance.

This recognition is a celebration of your resilience, your courage, and your unwavering belief in the power of change. It is a testament that the world is finally taking note of what we have always known: South-South women are icons in their own right.

Let this award serve as a beacon—a reminder that your voice matters, your dreams are valid, and your impact is undeniable.

Thank you for walking this journey with me. I wear this crown because you lift me. This is our shared triumph. And together, our light will shine even brighter.

With love and solidarity,
Hon. Gift Johnbull
