"Pioneered by young professionals and educators, the goal was to develop a new-age center of learning that grows beyond the post-colonial system of academic administration in West Africa and to combat the stereotypes of “Cotonou schools”."

She added, “my passion for education drives me, it keeps me dedicated to the cause. Education changes lives and girl child education is a subject I'm most passionate about because educating a girl is educating a nation.
"That is why, with our NGO, The Live Wire Project, and initiative "Edo Babes are Fly" we will be sponsoring two (2) female Edo indigenes throughout their university journey, these 2 young ladies’ tuition and accommodation will be covered while they complete their Bachelor's degree program.”
