Reacting to her death, Dare said that it was time for President Muhammadu Buhari's administration to establish a youth-based national unemployment register.

“I commend many of our youth and other Nigerians who did massive and coordinated retweets that tracked her attacker. This is the time for the government to establish a youth-based national unemployment register which will lead to unemployment benefits. I intend to lead in this direction. This data can be part of the National Social Register already in place.”
