Federal University Oye Ekiti | Oye Ekiti, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 4, SDG 17 & UNAI 8
" I desire a world where all, or most people, are able to make decisions with sound minds, and are able to gain more from life using the skills. I believe education is the path to enlightenment and we must all push for it, especially for young people. The skills I will gain and develop as a Millennium Fellow will help me to better speak up for right to education, and improved access to educational materials for students. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Holistic Education for All
The project 'Holistic Education for All ' aims to sensitize secondary and tertiary institutions students on the importance of extracurricular activities, and incorporation of soft skills and leadership skills into circular education. It also raises awareness about Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 4, and the importance of young people being involved in social change and leadership. I also was able to donate writing materials to schools visited and encouraged the students and teachers to continue in their good work.
