" The ambitions that keep me up at night make up my dreams; these dreams drive me to bring my goals into reality, and I am tirelessly working to realize this: I devote tremendous time to studies, reading till day break (TDB). My dream serves not just me, but my family, teachers and native village. My dream is to develop the society from whence I came. "
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.
