" I love novel projects that drive groundbreaking changes. When I organized a program for the sanitation personnel in my school, many said I could not do it. They doubted until they saw it done.
Being a Millennium Fellow will grant me more opportunity to handle for impactful projects that will positively affect the lives of the common man in the society. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Handling Academic Failures (H.A.F initiatives)
I started H.A.F initiative after hearing of Ajibola Ibitayo, who was a dental student at Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria and reportedly took his own life after failing his medical board examinations, held in August, 2025.
Since then, I had this strong passion to help students scale through schools and to ensure they know how to cope with failures and how to bounce back afterwards.
I am glad to also announce that students, who joined my webinar longed learn a lot and looked forward for more.
And, I am going to show commitment to this course to ensure a safer society.
H.A.F initiative speaks on both quality education in low income countries and sound mental health among students.
