" I am very excited to be a part of the Millennium Fellowship because it is a unique opportunity for me to learn from and partner with like-minds and experts, who are making progressive impacts across the world. In so many ways, it will promote my cause to create an Africa where every child and adult has equal opportunities, and sufficient access to the basic resources required to live productive and wholesome lives. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Education from a New Perspective

'Education from a New Perspective' is a project which aims to groom young African intellectuals who are eager to change the world for the better. Within Nigeria, my team and I intend to achieve this by:
-Exposing young people to technological advancements in education and ways to leverage on them for success.
-Addressing the relationship between learning, effective leadership and success in the 21st century.
-Combining academic knowledge with technical expertise to teach and empower students from primary and secondary schools across Nigeria.
-Promoting youth capacity building, for the achievement of social impact goals and sustainable development.
-Providing one-on-one mentorship for students in both academics and other areas of life, to ensure their mental health, well-being and productivity.
-Exposing students to online resources, courses and programs related to their academic endeavours and other areas of interest.
-Addressing the benefits of applying technology to learning and ways to utilize them effectively.
