" Growing up in one of the most underdeveloped states in Nigeria, I have witnessed firsthand the crippling effects of limited access to quality education. In my community, schools do exist, but most are barely functional, lacking the basic infrastructure and qualified personnel that should form the foundation of any sound educational system.This educational crisis has shaped my commitment to Sustainable Development Goals more particularly SDG 4, 1,2,6 and 16.
The Millennium Fellowship is an avenue for me to carryout impactful social projects that will enhance my advocacy and research skills. It will give me the opportunity to connect with other brilliant change makers, rub minds, and engage with our community at the grassroots level. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Let’s Talk– Youth Voices for a Better Society
Let’s Talk is a youth-led dialogue initiative by Millennium Fellows from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (Kongo Campus). The project creates a safe space for young people to discuss key social issues aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals — particularly Quality Education (SDG 4), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3) with emphasis on drug abuse, Gender Equality (SDG 5), No Poverty (SDG 1), and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16).
Through interactive sessions and school outreaches at the Federal University of Education, Zaria and Sunshine Model Academy, Let’s Talk helps students understand how global goals connect to their daily lives. The project promotes awareness, critical thinking, and social responsibility — empowering young people to become change makers who use dialogue as a tool for building a better, more inclusive society.
