ABOUT ME
From childhood, I’ve always had the drive to reach beyond limits—even climbing cupboards instead of crawling like a normal toddler (as often told by my mum)! That same spirit led me to seek and attain a BSc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Eastern Mediterranean University, Cyprus, and now fuels my dream of pursuing an MSc in Strategic Engineering Management at the University of Derby, UK.
I’m passionate about innovation, and my long-term goal is to contribute to engineering development in Nigeria—where over 70% of the population is under 30, touting a robust workforce in the coming decades. I want to contribute to the development of indigenous engineering innovation and technology that will headline the country's industrial future.
Over the past three years, I’ve gained real-world experience in diverse engineering roles, and I’ve realized that technical skills alone aren’t enough. This MSc will equip me with the leadership, strategy, and innovation skills to lead impactful engineering projects—and prepare me for a future in engineering development.
WHY I NEED YOUR HELP
I’ve already been offered admission to the MSc Strategic Engineering Management program at the University of Derby, UK (offer letter attached below).
The full cost of tuition, living expenses, visa, and travel is over £29,000. I’m seeking to raise £15,000 to cover part of my tuition, study materials and travel expenses. I’ve saved what I can and I’m exploring other funding sources too—but I can’t do this alone.
Your support will bring me closer to this life-changing opportunity.
HOW THE FUNDS WILL BE USED
Part of Tuition - £9,000
Research & Study Materials - £4,000
Visa & Health Surcharge (IHS) - £1,500
Travel & Essentials - £500
WHAT YOUR SUPPORT MEANS
Every pound brings me much closer to gaining the skills I need to make a difference—not just for myself, but for the future of engineering development in Nigeria.
If you believe in education, innovation, or just helping a determined dreamer, I’d be deeply grateful for your support.
Even if you can’t donate, I'd request that you share this campaign as it will mean the world to me. 🙏
Thanks a million.
