“Women should not shy but they should speak up. If you don’t give voice to your thought, no matter how good it may be, it may not have any effect.”

Hanna Schlingmann, German Academic Exchange Service Representative in Nigeria in her presentation said women should take charge and be determined in their bid to be a change they want to see in the society.
