My first encounter with this amazon was on her birthday where I was invited as a guest and I had to do a Bob Marley song “Three little birds”.
She sang & danced away in joy while quietly passing me some naira notes refusing to spray or show off like everyone in the hall.
In a world where dedication and hard work are often underappreciated, Dr. Habibat Oyiza Onumoko stands out as a shining example of what it means to be a good citizen and a force for good .

But Dr. Onumoko’s impact goes beyond her professional accomplishments. She is a role model and inspiration to many, particularly women and young girls in Kogi State, who see in her a symbol of what can be achieved through hard work, determination, and a commitment to excellence. Her selflessness and willingness to serve her community are traits that we can all learn from, and her legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire future generations.
As a detribalized citizen Dr. Onumoko has shown that she puts the needs of Kogi above all else. Her work ethic, integrity, and compassion make her a true asset to the state, and her contributions will be felt for years to come.
Dr. Habibat Oyiza Onumoko is a true gem, and her dedication to serving Kogi State is a testament to her character and commitment to excellence. We celebrate her achievements and look forward to seeing the continued positive impact she will have on not just Kogi state but Nigeria as a country.
