i was granted my Canadian citizenship 🇨🇦 yesterday! 12 years after i moved from Nigeria 🇳🇬 as an international student. God has been so faithful, and Jesus has kept me going ❤️
Grateful to be invited for the Canada-Africa strategy dialogue, with the @_AfricanUnion I enjoyed speaking with @JustinTrudeau, @AUC_MoussaFaki, @mary_ng, @melaniejoly & @HonAhmedHussen about the collaboration You can read the updates here! canada.ca/en/global-affa…

Very engaging session by @EfosaObano @ChoonaraShakira @BarbaraNgou and @onyango_oumah #YPC2023 #YouthLeadershipInHealth
“When we invest in our young people to obtain the necessary skill sets in public health by sending them abroad, let’s see it as brain circulation rather than brain drain,” @EfosaObano It is then imperative to allow them to execute their ideas when they return. #YPC2023
We underestimate the importance of peer-to-peer mentorship. Young people in this room will control a lot somedays and it’s important to leverage on these connections @EfosaObano #YPC2023
i’m filled with gratitude, for receiving the Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement from University of Toronto 5 years ago today, i shared my pinned tweet. the dreams are now real with @africanimpactin & @BFNCommunity. i can’t thank Him & you all enough for everything ❤️
