" As a Millennium Fellow, I am excited to join a global community of changemakers who share a commitment to driving positive impact. The work I do is fueled by a belief in the power of collective action to address the world's most pressing challenges, and this fellowship provides an incredible opportunity to amplify those efforts and inspire others to do the same.

Millennium Fellowship Project: The EquiPeace Initiative
The initiative addresses societal inequalities, such as discrimination based on ethnicity, age, background, or status. We believe that societal dysfunction and criminality are mostly caused by engrained discrimination, in which access to opportunities is frequently based on social standing rather than merit. The project aims to raise awareness of the negative consequences of socioeconomic and ethnic inequality, to reduce these concerns through education. While inequality cannot be eliminated, it can be reduced to establish a more peaceful, merit-based society.
About the Millennium Fellow
Ayomide Emmanuel Akinwale is a bright penultimate-year student of the Department of Political Science at the University of Ibadan penultimate-year. He is interested in International Relations as he seeks to explore the field of International Law and Diplomacy. This stems from his arduous interest in charting the course for global peace. By extension, this has stirred his interest in understanding how unequal relations in the International System could negate the actualisation of peace.
Following up from this, he opined that unequal relations among people as well as gender could negatively affect peaceful coexistence. Thus, he is committed to understanding the dynamics by which the problem could be alleviated. From high school to college, he is committed to social justice movements. Ayomide Emmanuel Akinwale seeks to be a Diplomat well-versed in International Law and Negotiations where through his knowledge base combined with International relations, he would have the adequate repertoire to pursue the UN SDGs
