Lagos State University | Lagos, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 5 & UNAI 6
" " What mostly drives me is conscientiousness. That one can right all the wrongs in this world is a fallacy. However, if one or few person(s) continuously does/do the right thing(s), it will impact positively on some lives if not the whole world. I believe this is how we can heal the world one step at a time. The Millennium Campus Fellowship creates an avenue for me to do this in line with SDGs and UNAI principles which I am most grateful for. Not only am I excited about this, it also serves as a platform for me to hone my leadership skills, create sustainable relationships and network with brilliant minds across the world". "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Kick Against Gender Based Violence (KAGBV)
"Kick Against Gender Based Violence" (KAGBV) project aims to address the violence issues that the two majority genders face in Nigeria, particularly at Lagos State University. It also aims to educate students at Lagos State University and beyond about the dangers of gender-based
violence and the long-term cultural and social consequences that it causes.
The KAGBV project also seeks to provide a safe space for victims to share their stories, easing their trauma and improving their overall well-being. Gender-based violence, I believe, is a major cause of gender inequality, and I believe that ending it will significantly increase gender equality.
