Outreach and Social Involvements
My professional growth has greatly benefited from interacting with people from diverse cultures. From organizing community outreaches and working with stakeholders at REA to working with a global team at NESP.
 1. The Advantage Group My participation in the YALI (12-week leadership training) not only prepared me for life after school but also equipped me with the necessary knowledge to successfully co-convene The Advantage Group , an organization formed with the vision of giving students and graduates a competitive edge that distinguishes them globally. Each year, we organize inspiring outreaches, conferences and workshops designed to equip students and graduates with essential knowledge and skills in various areas, including academics, entrepreneurship, renewable energy, the environment, leadership, and career development. The first edition, TAG’17, was organized by a team of ten under my direction and attracted approximately 500 participants. To date, we have built a network of over 3,000 Nigerian students. |
 2. World Environment Day Celebration at FUTO Building on the success of TAG over the year, my team took on the responsibility of organizing the World Environment Day celebration. During the event, we led several community service initiatives, including tree-planting exercise within the FUTO environment, clean-up campaign in parks, drainages, and the Otamiri River within the school environment. We also arranged panel discussions with experts on relevant topics on climate change and environmental conservation. See Poster Presentation: 2021 World Environment Day: |
 3. GIS Day Conference at the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) At the 2018 GIS Day Conference hosted by the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), I contributed to community-focused mapping projects, co-hosted beginner GIS workshops, and joined a team of experts visiting the University of Abuja to deliver presentations on GIS applications. These experiences highlighted the transformative potential of GIS for addressing real-world challenges, fostering learning, and bridging the gap between academia and industry.

 4. Energize Conference (Renewable Energy Career Fair) At the 2021 Energize Conference, I co-organized a panel discussion featuring GIS professionals from the energy sector, focusing on the intersection of geospatial technology and renewable energy. The session highlighted GIS’s role in optimizing renewable energy systems, planning infrastructure, and addressing energy challenges. I also discussed career opportunities within the sector, emphasizing the growing demand for GIS expertise and the essential skills required, such as spatial analysis, data visualization, and remote sensing. The event served as a platform for educating aspiring professionals and reinforcing the significance of GIS in shaping the future of sustainable energy and career growth. |
