Millennium Fellowship Project: Staff Engagement and Appreciation Day
The Staff Engagement and Appreciation Day is designed to celebrate and support contract staff in the university, especially cleaners and security personnel. The event focuses on appreciation, health education, and providing simple, affordable tools that can make their daily work safer and easier. The project accomplished a lot by starting different innovations that helped humanity and supported the well-being of contract workers.
About the Millennium Fellow

He is a 300-level Architecture student at Covenant University, Ogun State, Nigeria, with a deep passion for creating sustainable, safe, and inclusive environments through innovative design and community-focused environmental action.
