. “The "Dream Up, Speak Up, Stand Up" program was first launched in March 2013, in Lagos, Nigeria at the Pan-Atlantic University, and in other schools in partnership with the US Consulate in Lagos. I started advocating for girls education not only in my home country when I was 10 years old where I met different Presidents from different countries. We have since done it in more than 13 countries including Nigeria, Malawi, Mexico, Ethiopia, the United Kingdom, Ghana, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Rwanda, Mozambique and Tanzania,” Oduwole said.
