University of Lagos | Lagos, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 16 & UNAI 8
" As a Millennium Fellow, I am driven by the conviction that every individual deserves equal opportunities and respect, regardless of their background or identity. Through my work, I aim to amplify marginalized voices, challenge systemic inequalities, and foster a more just and inclusive society - aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities). I am excited to be part of a global community that shares my passion for creating positive change and empowering others, in line with the UNAI principles of promoting human rights, social justice, and human dignity. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Civic Light
Political and Civic Education is a project focused on helping students and local community members understand how politics impacts their daily lives. It teaches people about their rights, how government works, and the importance of their voices especially during elections and community decision-making. The project uses simple sessions, conversations, photo walks, and campus events to break down complex topics, working with schools and student groups to integrate political awareness into regular activities. Its goal is to empower more people to participate confidently, speak up, and take meaningful action in their communities.
