A timeless photograph of the elegant Late Maryam Babangida during her vibrant tenure as the National Patron of the Nigerian Girl Guides Association.

As First Lady of Nigeria from 1985 to 1993, she brought grace and purpose to the role, championing the cause of young girls and women. Her time as Patron wasn’t just ceremonial, she actively supported programs that promoted discipline, self-reliance, and civic responsibility among young Nigerian girls.

Through her Better Life for Rural Women project, she also connected Girl Guides’ values with national development, leaving a lasting legacy in both the movement and the lives she touched.
