Ibanga, Favour Essien.
I hail from Akwa Ibom state but attended secondary school in Bayelsa while my family’s residence is Rivers state. I have witnessed first-hand the environmental crises facing the Niger Delta region from flooding to gas flaring.
I am now a campus journalist at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where I champion truth. I am also a passionate speaker( I was runner up for Open Speech Day public speaking tournament) and advocate for environmental and social issues affecting Nigeria and beyond.
I believe in a better Nigeria and I plan to write a full article on environmental crises and sustainable solutions for my country’s future.
