Grace is a 300lv student at the University of Jos, studying Special Education.
In her essay, she writes, “I am currently pursuing a degree in special education at the University of Jos because I believe in the importance of providing quality education to all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. My passion for this field stems from my experiences volunteering at local schools and organizations that cater to children with special needs. Witnessing the challenges these children face and the lack of adequate resources to support them inspired me to take action and make a difference.”
