Prominent Nigerian women, including Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), were honoured at the 2025 Heroine Impact Prestigious Merit Awards (HIPMA), held in Abuja.
Dabiri-Erewa was recognised in the Hall of Fame of the Year category for her consistent contributions to national development and for championing the rights and welfare of Nigerians living abroad.
Receiving the award on her behalf, Miss Deborah Anaelechi of NiDCOM’s Media, Public Relations and Protocol Unit expressed gratitude to the organisers for acknowledging Dabiri-Erewa’s dedication and service.
The event, organised by Whyte Family Entertainment, was aimed at celebrating outstanding women impacting society positively in various fields.
Chairperson of the occasion, Princess Edna Azura, a leader of the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), said the awards serve as a platform to amplify women’s achievements and inspire younger generations to pursue excellence while promoting and protecting the rights of women.
Convener of the awards, MC Danstar Whyte, noted that the initiative was born out of the need to spotlight heroines who have made lasting contributions to society.
Other recipients of the prestigious award include Hajiya Fatima Umar Bago, First Lady of Niger State; Dr. Mujidat Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, Iyaloja-General of Nigeria; Mrs. Angela Ajala, Educationist and Founder of Ladela Schools; and Mrs. Tosin Dokpesi, CEO of TAD Foundation, among others.
