Today we celebrate you, Dr. Grace Adagba
With grateful hearts, we sing your name
Yeah, one love, one life
For every girl who dares to dream
You help her see how bright she can be
Through old beliefs that held her back
You lead with courage, you change the track
With every step you clear the way
A brighter light for a brand new day

Breaking the chains, standing through it all
For every child in Benue learning
You keep the doors of knowledge turning
Your steady work is making room
For brighter days and dreams in bloom

Keep on rising, keep on leading
Your good work reaches mile by mile

You lift the standard, strengthen the start
Give Benue’s children a hopeful heart
Each lesson planted, each future grown
Your care has helped their promise show
You are a beacon, you are the guide
With wisdom walking by your side
Jah bless the path that you have paved
For all the futures you have saved
