" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a platform to turn ideas into action, creates an invaluable opportunity to connect with like-minded change makers, and amplify my work in promoting sustainable health and combating antimicrobial resistance for the well-being of future generations in no small measure. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: AMR CAMPUS and COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN
My project is about helping young people understand the dangers of misusing antibiotics and how simple habits, like good hygiene, can prevent infections. My team and I recently registered an awareness club in our school, called AMR UNILAG. I’m building on what I’i've been doing as a volunteer with DRASA’s AMR program, but this time I want to bring the message to my campus and nearby communities in a fun, relatable way.
