About the Millennium Fellow

Osho Babafunso is a vibrant, smart and an enthusiastic young man. I study Medicine and Surgery in Obafemi Awolowo College of Medicine, Olabisi Onabanjo University. Growing up from a struggling family, I have had a bit of experience in viewing this slacks and superfluous of the society. To show how much a goal getter I am, I have served as literally a part of every Student Representative Council at every institution of my life. I am currently a tutor and mentor at various tutorial centres in my state as well as the current Local Exchange Officer for the Nigeria Medical Student's Association under the standing committee of Professional exchange. All these together with more which I must have failed to discuss have apparently shown how much I am dedicated to seeing a better society for not even myself but the world at large and generations coming. On this note I am in the class of 2022 to attain the full goal of the Millennium Fellowship
