Kathleen Erhimu, founder of the non-profit organisation Kudimata, has congratulated Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, on her 46th birthday. In a statement released on Saturday, Erhimu praised Sulaiman-Ibrahim for her leadership and public service, particularly highlighting her tenure as Minister of Police Affairs and her current work advancing the welfare of women, children, and vulnerable groups. Erhimu credited the Minister with driving reforms, strengthening social protection systems, and implementing empowerment programmes that have reached millions of Nigerians. She specifically acknowledged the partnership between Kudimata and the Ministry, describing it as key to expanding financial literacy and entrepreneurship initiatives nationwide. Erhimu commended Sulaiman-Ibrahim for championing women and youth, stating that her vision fosters inclusion and opportunity. "Your passion, resilience, and commitment to nation-building remain a source of inspiration to women, children, and young Nigerians," the statement said. Birthday wishes included prayers for good health, longevity, and sustained impact. Kudimata, under Erhimu's leadership, has trained over one million women and youths in financial literacy and business development.
Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim is being praised for empowering women while the Ministry's own programmes remain unevaluated. Kudimata claims to have trained over a million women, yet there is no independent verification of how many have accessed capital or sustained businesses. The goodwill message offers no data on actual outcomes from the Ministry's partnership with the group. Without measurable results, the celebration of impact rests on rhetoric, not returns.
