Millennium Fellowship Project: Zest

My project is titled "Zest" and it is aimed at promoting active participation of youths in key decision-making processes in Nigeria through relentless sensitization that will further improve their understanding of government institutions in Nigeria, how they work, and how they (the youths) can play an active role in shaping the institutions and promoting accountability among those institutions.
In the long term, the project aims to also promote informed participation of African youth in solving key issues in the international system, and this will be done in alignment with the principles, goals, and mission of the United Nations."
