Testimonials about Chief Sandra C. Duru and her Vision
Remarks by staff and youth
members of the Pre-Adult Affairs Organization Remarks by Dr.Nnamdi Oboli Some are born great In the case of Chief Sandra C Duru, she has achieved greatness. A woman of substance who has achieved, in her short years in life, much more than most people her age and older only hope to achieve if given more time. What she has been able to accomplish is nothing short of genius considering her very humble beginnings.
Driven by her insatiable hunger for positive change and unwillingness to be just a bystander waiting for the situations that appalls her to change itself or for some imaginary figure to come and someday effect that change that she so desires to see, she has systematically charted a course in her life that can effectively appropriate that change in her nation, her generation across the globe, among the youth, mothers and women in general and also the less privileged in the society. Being a stickler for proper analysis, she has over the years taken up courses and attended programmers’ in different countries around the world.
This is a lady who has dared to be different where most are unwilling to let go of the norm of the day and she has an almost childlike approach to achieving great results, never giving up where many others before her have hitherto failed in even seeing hope. She does this with a fearless persona that exudes her finest character, her ability to focus. It is this ability that she has that made her to be accepted as a consultant to the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).
There she exhibited her strong convictions to get things done right by training the operatives of SON in various aspects of their jobs so that they can more effectively carry out their duties and rid our great nation, Nigeria, of fake and substandard goods, which, in many cases, endangered the life and health of our citizens.
This tenacity of hers has not come without its pitfalls. In carrying out her duties she has rocked the boat of many who would rather they had business as usual in the various operations of the SON and this has led to accusations which led to her arrest by the EFCC and the SSS on trumped up charges. She was in prison for about 3months and all her documents and business dealings were investigated, but all to no avail because all the charges were dropped for lack of evidence and blatantly false accusations.
Her company, SANCHHY (NIG) LIMITED, was given a clean bill. After all the investigations and all the trauma of the prison ordeal has served to give her company and herself the credibility which it deserves. This has given her a renewed vigor to do more to achieve instead of dampening her spirit.
It is by knowledge that we acquire wisdom, not by age and this is especially true in the case of Chief Sandra C Duru, a revelation for our time, who challenges us to be the change we want in our the society She is a remarkable woman of our time, a woman of substance, who has been through alot and yet conquered all her fear. She has been through all the worse times, only to rise above it and even achieve and show others how they too can also achieve at the same time.
Chief Sandra C. Duru can be likened to Joseph, who in the face of trials, tribulations and betrayal (from those closest to him) remained resolute, believing in God's providence and promise for a bright future. She has had her fair share of trials with the security agencies; Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), The Nigeria Police and Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) which reprimanded her in prison six times for charges she knew nothing about.
Like Joseph, who in the long run was the saviour of the family because he forgave those who offended him and caused him pain, Chief Sandra C. Duru has forgiven and has come out victorious and now is back resilient, stronger to make positive impact in the lives of youth. Just as the saying goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going", she stands as a role model for all youth.
Remarks by Ambassador Olusegun Olusola
We worked together on Pre-Adult Affairs which she has conceptualized as a project that was truly truly preparing young people for greatness. She has been through some experiences, the thing is, you will never take a look at her and say "you mean you have been through the concentration and the demands and the rigorous of prison yard and survived".
Remarks by Comrade Debo Adeniran
She is vast in experience as if she has lived in this planet for ages, She is articulate, very intelligent, very Compassionate, a very passionate woman on any issue she decides to take on. she is also very passionate like i tried to say, she is very generous, she is also a very experience business woman and a no-nonsense woman. I see in her a potential Leader for this nation and not just for her business empires which she has been able to build through days of hard works. By my own experience and discussion i have with her, She actually deserves what she has achieved so far.
Remarks by NANS (National Association of Nigeria Students)
I have not seen someone that is so pratical like that of Chief Sandra Duru, I was so overwhelmed, for me to have meet someone with lots of problems and she was able to do that in an instance. At the moment, i dont even know what to say or even start from, i just dont want to be too emotional with what i ahve to say here., i wish every good Nigerian that are rich out there can emulate the life of chief Mrs Sandra Duru. She is a great Leader, a great woman of our time. Chief Mrs Sandra Duru is poised and determined to change the life of the younger ones in terms of giving out scholarship, assisting and bringing hope to the hopeless, helping those that are helpless.

Remarks by Engr Donald (NBTE)
I believe you have a heart of Gold and giving. I also know that givers never lack. Your project of training the less priviledge is definitely not for the sake of money but for humanity. keep it up. I know it will not be easy but you have been equipped by God.
Remarks by D. Joe Agidi
It's interesting to find a young woman in this generation to imbibe the thought action of our Lord Jesus Christ. A vision to take care of the less priviledge of this country. She has found those who are hungry, those who are naked.....and to all those, she now has a plan to meet their needs. I just pray that God in his infinte mercies will see her through (Amen).
Remarks by Alh M. K. Jumare (NBTE) A laudable project that will eventually stand the test of time for the oncoming generations. A project that came at a time when Nigerians are desperate. An opportunity for fellow Nigerians to emulate and propagate.
Remarks by Sunmon David Gbenga (Honorary Secretary Nigerian Hotel & Catering Institute) A laudable project that is "Needy friendly" this is challenging and a worthwhile investment in the right direction. Please keep the flag flying especially for the generation that which you belong to. More grease to your elbow!
Remarks by Joe Onaniyi She has the less priviledge in mind is a good project. it is a legacy that she wants to give the society. I therefore commend her initiative in this direction. Besides, to make it sustainable, there could be other auxiliary services that you may wish to take along. Good luck and God bless you.
Remarks by Ndu .U. M. ( FME, Abuja) This ia a laudable dream, bear in mind that nothing good comes easy, but the Lord who allowed you to see life in this light, will never leave you mid-way.
