University of Lagos | Lagos, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 6 & UNAI 9
" Over the years, I've always dreamed of a world where waste management wouldn't pose as a major issue as it is today and I strongly believe that the lasting solution to this perennial waste problem is quality education. One which emphasizes the importance of proper waste management, and adverse effects of dumping. This would serve as the most effective preventive measure not just the curative measures alone which is adopted by most groups today and i choose to work towards achieving this goal to the very end with the help of the Millennium Fellows. "
