CNN Honours Late Dr Adedevoh, Adichie, #BringBackOurGirls campaigner
               

Cable News Network CNN listed the late Dr. Stella Adedevoh, the doctor who gave her life in stopping patient zero, Patrick Sawyer from spreading the deadly Ebola virus which he brought in from Liberia to Lagos. Her sacrifice ensured that the disease was identified early with very reduced casualty than it would have originally been.
Alongside Sr. Adedevoh is another great Nigerian, the writer Chimamanda Adichie for her contributions to African Literature.

Also, co-founder of the #BringBackOurGirls movement, Hadiza Bala-Usman, appeared in the Humanitarian category of the listing.

She was described as an “activist and initiator of the protest movement” that requested the release of the over 200 pupils of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok abducted by Boko Haram insurgents.

The news network credited Bala-Usman for initiating the campaign, which drew global attention to the plight of the kidnapped girls and led to the spread of the movement “worldwide.”

Other women who made the World's Leading women of 2014 list included Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Oscar award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, and IMF Chairman Christine Lagarde.
