" Collaboration with different individuals who have had experiences in advocacy on a variety of subjects drives my excitement as a Millennium Fellow. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship would afford me the opportunity to hone the necessary skills I need for effective advocacy which I greatly look forward to. I anticipate learning to work better with the Sustainable Development Goals and making better impact in future. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Cervical Cancer Awareness Campaign
The Cervical Cancer Awareness Campaign targets around 200 female students at the University of Jos and nearby areas, aiming to identify premalignant stages of cervical cancer and prevent their progression to malignancy, while encouraging regular testing for long-term control. Campaigns are being organized within the university, surrounding institutions, and communities across Plateau State, with plans to extend screening to older adults and provide vaccinations for children under nine. Through this initiative, we were able to enhance participants’ knowledge about cervical cancer and its causes and promote preventive practices among the women involved.
