My career story is incomplete without ITU’s Africa 2001 Youth Fellowship. Fresh out of school as an engineering graduate, I had hopes for the new millennium’s technology promise but what I knew was the theory of what could be. The fellowship helped me with the practical reality! Happy Birthday, ITU!
