We organized a school Outreach at the government science school new Nyanya Nasarawa state and we had reporters from wazobia FM and Nigeria info FM discussing SGBV and the dangers of female genital mutilation.

The Radio show:

We had over 18 million listeners.

I had a radio talk show on sexual and gender-based violence in which we discussed Female genital mutilation and reasons why it should stop at cool FM Abuja with 18 million listeners.

Voice FM in Ekiti state was also used and we scheduled a day, we had over 12 million listeners, I also aired a jingle and a news placement in that same station emphasising the fact that people should speak up if there is any case of mutilation.

Ichose Ekiti state that the west has one of the highest prevalence of FGM survivors in Nigeria and also because it has the second-highest prevalence of FGM (47.9% ) in Nigeria. This station covers close to (6) states in Nigeria.
