I started Glowing Minds Initiatives, an outfit that is into training of youths with core interest in undergraduates, on public speaking, Leadership and personal development.
I am the immediate past President of the Students Union of Federal University of Technology,Minna and as the President of I discovered that a whole lot of people were unable to pay their school fees as at the time of the closure of the school portal and I discovered that the reason behind it was as a result of Students relying on their Parents for fund, so I came up with the Students Leadership Entrepreneurial Technological and Agricultural Summit tagged SLETA, which has it motto as building campus entrepreneurs and we were able to train about 100 Students as a start. This year we are planning to expand the scope to institutions within Niger State.

I have sensitized 5 communities on health, environmental and climate effects that accompany the use of wood fuel in rural community. Trained a team of 10 individuals in 3 communities on how to turn agricultural waste into household clean cooking fuel and empowering them with local fabricated equipment to start production. And will be training the other 2 together with N-Power Agric in funtua LGA,Katsina States.
Also, will be donating 20 fabricated stove to each community to penetrate the use of these clean cooking fuel in rural households and switch to build sustainable community.
These is to promote good health and well-being among women; reduce deforestation; provide job; promote responsible consumption and production; reduce carbon emissions from burning wood fuel on climate action. Thank
