" "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr
One remains in ignorance when chooses not to network and take out of his small circle and engage meaningfully in the world, hence I see this opportunity as such an avenue both to expand my scope of impact, while simultaneously learning new skills and enhancing other skills. The skills I gain from the Millennium Fellowship will make my impact more tangible, aligning with the UNAI principles and SDGs. Greatness is birthed in isolation but is establish by people ( a community), the vision is clear, nation building. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute both the UN and my country Nigeria. "
