In 2015, I graduated from Coventry University, United Kingdom with a Civil Engineering degree, Second Class Upper at age 21. However, after 3 years of studying for what I believed was my dream career I had this gut feeling something was wrong but I was determined to make my very supportive parents proud. Having already taken the plunge, failure was not an option. On my graduation day, I held a degree I knew I would never use. “What now?” was the question in my head.

Stay Home and Stay Safe Today the word, COVID-19, is no stranger on the lips of everyone; young and old, educated or illiterate. We did always preach, “Stronger Together.” Whoever thought that there would come a time in the world where staying away from each other would mean saving each other? At this point seeing how events have unraveled around the world, it is safe to say no one, not even the world powers, were prepared to face this invincible enemy.

Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Fellow

2021 - Leadership

The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) was launched by the United States government as a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. The need to invest in grooming strong, results-oriented leaders comes out of the statistics: nearly 1 in 3 Africans are between the ages of 10 and 24, and approximately 60% of Africa’s total population is below the age of 35. Who will empower and lead these young Africans? Who will shape the future of business and entrepreneurship, civic leadership, and public management? In order to answer these questions, YALI promotes three models designed to identify and empower young leaders: the YALI Mandela Washington Fellowship,YALI Network and now the establishment of Regional Leadership Centers across Africa.
