The respondents unanimously agreed that Dame Julie Okah–Donli remains a generational gift to present-day Nigeria due to her numerous achievements and selfless service to humanity across the World.

A woman with endless love for humanity irrespective of tribes and tongues, Dame Julie Okah – Donli, founded the Abuja–based Roost Foundation and has continued to counsel, empower, care, nocturne, and provide for the needs of hundreds of less privileged people and victims of various abuses across the Country.





“I am glad that we have someone like Dame Julie Okah–Donli in Nigeria. I met her a few years ago during her counter-trafficking activities. She is a woman that loves the Nation more than herself and even after leaving the Agency, her tempo of service to humanity increased to the extent that former President Muhammadu Buhari, gave her a national honour.

“I am reliably informed that since the past few years, the NGO she founded, Roost Foundation, has provided for the timely needs of many disadvantaged people across the Country. This is amazing and I wish her a fulfilled life and pleasant future”, says, Mr. Charles Omoruyi, a member of the CSO in Nigeria.

“I want to celebrate this woman of many parts especially. She is a role model to me. I met her a few years ago at the palace of the Obi of Agbor, She came there to deliver a lecture on the evil of human trafficking. At that time, I was planning to migrate out of Nigeria enroute to Libya. I listened to her that day and after her well-delivered lecture, I decided to stay here and avail myself of the abundant opportunities around me in Delta State. Today, because God used her to redirect my steps, I am an employer of labour and I can now raise my head as a graduate.” Says Johnson Nwaizon, a Youth from Boji Boji Owa, Delta State.





Dame Julie Okah – Donli, is an admirable Socialite with a refined composure, a Sports enthusiast, a Resource Person for local and international space, a lover of all, an advocate for Peace, and a woman of high reputation and integrity.
