" Being an individual craving for changes in the education sector of my country, I still believe that I lack some vital training in some aspects. So, joining the Millennium Fellowship, I will be exposed to those skills that shall foster my visions positively along the journey. Moreover, I am looking forward to learning more through this medium. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Rebuilding Nigeria's Education Status
My project is aimed at restoring the good education status in Nigeria.
Nigeria as a country has been facing challenges such as corruption, bad infrastructure, examination malpractice, low government budget allocation, etc. This project is working towards curbing these obstacles by either working individually or liasing with the appropriate body.
