UNITED NATIONS ACADEMIC IMPACT AND MCN PROUDLY PRESENT BAKI IFEOLUWA ADAMS, A MILLENNIUM FELLOW FOR THE CLASS OF 2024.
University of Lagos | Lagos, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 4, SDG 1 & UNAI 3
" I am particularly excited to be a fellow because I’m quite inspired by what my friends who have been a part of the program in previous years have done. The program would help sharpen my skills, expose me to a rich network of fellows across the globe, and aid in implementing the project I would be taking on. I believe the mind is a powerful tool that can be used to shape and define the future, kids have those tools ready to be imprinted upon, and with schools quiet about certain core life skills, I believe it is required that someone takes up the mantle to teach kids some of these skills. "
