Nollywood actresses, Toyin Abraham and Adebimpe Oyebade, have been ranked among the Lagos state top 100 women.

The award was given to 100 women who are doing exploits in Lagos state as a form of celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD).

The movie stars took to their separate Instagram pages to announce their recognition on Wednesday.

Toyin shared a picture of her plaque while appreciating Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos state government, for the honor.

In both English and Yoruba, Toyin wrote:

“Thank you sir, your excellency @jidesanwoolu and @lagosstategovt. Thanks for the recognition. Eshey Modupe, Eko o ni baje.”

Bimpe also shared a photo of her plaque while offering her gratitude to the governor and the state government for the opportunity.

“A big thanks to the Governor of Lagos State, His excellency @jidesanwoolu for this heartwarming recognition.” 

“Nothing excites more than being recognized for what you do.

“The Lagos state government @lagosstategovt named me along the Eko 100 Women on International Women’s day and I’m grateful beyond words.

“DEAR YOUNG WOMAN, This is to tell you that the world is watching and you’ll definitely be celebrated. Don’t  stop pushing, don’t stop trying and please don’t stop breaking the bias.

“Thanks again your excellency, Governor Babjide Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu. Eko o ni baje!”
