First of all, I’m very grateful to the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Kadiri Hamzat, for entrusting me with the responsibility of helping to actualise their administration’svision of a Lagos State that is free from all forms of sexual and gender-based violence. When we started in 2014, I was privileged to serve as the coordinator of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team. My role then included coordinating responses across the various service providers, including relevant ministries, departments and agencies, non-governmental organisations and law enforcement agencies.

As executive secretary of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, my role is basically two pronged; in the unfortunate event that SGBV occurs, ensure holistic response is provided to survivors , and reduce this vicious menace to the barest minimum, as well as champion advocacy and pioneering proactive measures as a tool for prevention.

Your expertise cuts across public policy, administration, legal services and others. How has these distinct roles shaped your personality and work? What do you consider a major way of eradicating GBV in Lagos and what can other states emulate from Lagos? I find that a lot of people in our part of the world, especially women, are doing amazing work and transforming their respective sectors, but often, they don’t document how they did what they did. We are not privileged to know the process they went through and their experiences. And so I feel it’s important that we tell our stories, not just for posterity, but also for people to learn from our experiences.To be sincere, I still find it quite weird addressing myself as an author.
