Esther, 20, is a human sexuality educator and women's and girls' rights activist and served as GYCA's Nigeria Focal Point in 2007. Currently, she is studying social work at the University of Calabar. She is a graduate of Girls Power Initiative 3-year Comprehensive Sexuality and Life Management program, and has worked as a peer health educator and volunteer for the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria. She played lead roles in several projects such as the "Youth with Future" project, a youth mobilization program, and the "We are one" project, an HIV/ AIDS integration program. She was also involved with the Global Youth Action Network/World Bank "Youth in Action" project, the GPI's HIV/AIDS work place policy drafting committee, and a World Citizen educational program.
In 2007, she facilitated a capacity building workshop on the role of young people in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals organized by the World Youth Alliance with support form GYAN/World Bank. During her term as Nigeria NFP, Esther advocated for the creation of a youth department in the University of Calabar.
