“I will be honest, (the platform you create for us) apart from the attached popularity, I get feedbacks behind the camera (on how impactful it is). My confidence level increased. I now search and read books to make my spoken English more proficient. I was ignored by some people before, they saw what I was doing (through this platform) and started linking up…I can count more and more…”😆

(Andrew,) your commitment to this vision (one Nigeria) is something that is in itself inspiring. In the one year plus that I have been here, I have witnessed how consistent you have been in advocating for the values that you believe in, and in pushing for more visibility for this (Nigerian) community, Andrew. You are laying the foundations here for the Nigeria that you wish to see, the Nigeria that I think many of us want to see, that acknowledges the diversity of its components, and that is strengthened, not weakened, by it; that is united, not divided, by it; that is beautified, not disfigured, by it...I encourage you to keep at it with your efforts. As we would say in my area, 'jide ka i ji. Keep it up!'

Thank you Andrew! You are an inspiration and a valued leader in our PGR community. It’s our pleasure to be part of your amazing journey.

Andrew has some great ideas around transforming Nigeria through a knowledge exchange with the UK. This could potentially work via our Nigerian Alumni who work in the UK and Nigeria who could become the connections in this process. The Nigerian Alumni are some of the most active at ARU.
