As a youth and the passion for sustainable development, I organized youth club meetings at home during which members discussed youth related issues. As a result of passion for change leads me to providing support and training for young people in several areas including Climate, HIV/AIDS, Peer Pressure, Self Confidence and United Nations Millennium Development Goals through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The both lead initiatives runs youth-friendly, gender sensitive in Abuja which provides a platform for healthily interaction and counseling for young people. Implementing several projects which include, Computer Literacy Project, The Role of Youth in Community Development, Answer Solution and Knowledge (ASK) around HIV/AIDS, Young Entrepreneurship (YES), Switch ICT Project and project on environmental issues (Climate Change). These projects have collectively reached more than 1,500 young Nigerians. I was made an ambassador for Microsoft Campaign (MISSPIN).
I also volunteered for a youth-led capacity building and involved in wonderful youth activities which includes Youth Alive Initiative Africa as the National Coordinator, Project Director AIESEC Abuja-Nigeria. Presently I worked with Nigeria Youth Climate Coalition (NYCC) as the Youth Engagement officer.
