In her acceptance speech, Eromosele said that she felt highly honoured to be nominated among other distinguished women, noting that the for her journey had been both challenging but interesting. She said: “I am grateful that my efforts are being recognized by such a laudable organization.

This is also hoping that more women who are achieving great feats in their various endeavors will be recognized and encouraged to do more”.
