Stella Obasanjo

The reigning first lady, Mrs. Stella Obasanjo makes the list first for her fearless and untiring campaign for the release of her then imprisoned husband, Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo. She internationalised his incarceration and drew world attention to the inhuman government that had taken grip of Nigeria. Now that Obasanjo has moved from prison to presidency, Stella has channelled her energies towards her child care project where she gives special attention to handicapped children.
