" "The want to see a better world for my generation and the generation to come has impacted my work greatly. I am driven to always lend a helping hand in situations that require them and have been able to develop communication skills accompanied with team-work, problem solving and servant leadership collectively. I want to learn more and hone my capabilities to its peak from the Millennium Fellowship so as to make a greater impact to my immediate environment and the world at large" "
Millennium Fellowship Project: To See A Better Me
To See a Better Me is a personal and impactful social impact project designed to support majorly first year and then second year students at Babcock University, Nigeria, as they transition into the demanding environment of university life. It was born out of the my own experiences of feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsupported during the early years of my academic journey. The project aims to address the challenges that so many students face, from academic struggles to emotional roller-coasters and the pressure to fit in socially. By combining academic, emotional and social support the project strives to guide students towards a more fulfilling, balanced, and confident version of themselves.
