Dr Bernadette Eromma Nwokoro is a great Woman and a force to reckon with. She is highly respected for her humanitarian passion and strong willed personality yet very private and humble. She is involved in individual charity works of which she believes is a means of fostering empathy, social cohesion, and strengthening communities.
“I love helping people because it gives a sense of purpose and helps make the world a better place for people in need”.
However, she prefers keeping her charity activities away from public eyes. Her ‘No media,’ ‘No camera’ policy is because she is a strong believer of when giving do not let your right hand know what your left hand is doing.
