Earlier this year, Oby Ezekwesili was listed among 2015 TIME 100 most influential people in the world.

#BringBackOurGirls chief campaigner was praised over her having raised the awareness about the abducted Chibok girls. But for the former minister’s intervention, it would have taken a long time to draw the attention to the issues, TIME concluded.

Meanwhile, three prominent Nigerians were also listed among the world’s most influential Muslims.

The annual publication titled The Muslim 500 included President Muhammadu Buhari, Sultan of Sokoto Saád Abubakar and prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Saleh.
