Today, Nigeria celebrates a woman of substance, grace, and unwavering determination — Hajia Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, the Honourable Minister of Women Affairs, as she marks her 45th birthday in grand style.
Widely known for her fierce advocacy, reform-driven leadership, and heartfelt dedication to nation-building, Hajia Imaan is a name that resonates with progress, purpose, and power. Her journey through public service has been nothing short of inspiring — marked by integrity, impact, and a deep-seated passion for uplifting women, children, and vulnerable communities across Nigeria.
With robust academic roots in sociology, business, and management, she has risen through the ranks, taking on some of the nation's most sensitive and critical roles. As Director-General of NAPTIP, she fought fearlessly against human trafficking, ushering in a new era of protection for the voiceless. As Federal Commissioner at the NCFRMI, she led sweeping reforms for displaced persons, prioritizing dignity, reintegration, and sustainable support systems.
In 2023, Hajia Imaan made history as the first female Minister of Police Affairs — a position she held with strength and vision. She wasn’t just a figurehead; she got straight to work, pushing for inclusivity and advocating for women in security architecture.
Now, at the helm of the Ministry of Women Affairs, she’s redefining what empowerment looks like. From the ambitious 10 Million Women Economic Empowerment Initiative — providing women with access to finance, skills, and entrepreneurial opportunities — to legislative reforms on the Child Rights Act and the VAPP Act, Hajia Imaan continues to shape a safer, fairer, and more equitable future for Nigerian families.
As tributes pour in from around the country and beyond, one thing is clear — Hajia Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim is a woman rewriting the narrative. A reformer. A leader. A compassionate force of change.
And today, she’s being celebrated in true regal fashion — adorned in a complete Aso Oke outfit by @jaderonasooke, embodying elegance, tradition, and excellence.
