About Me

i was brought up from a humble background with lots of life challenges pertaining access to basic needs.i went through public institutions of learning fully funded by constituency development funds and well wishers having been a bright student apparently i am winding up with my undergraduate; university education undertaking bachelor studies in environment.being a God fearing person enabled me to overcome the challenges of this world by ensuring discipline and respect as a priority. given that i am an environment student my priority is beautification of environment(landscaping) and improving forest cover to combat climate change.i come from an arable land facing the challenges of minimal rainfall thus there is need for more funding to run my low level irrigation project of planting more seedlings of variety of trees and flowers to increase forest cover and foliage putting in consideration aesthetic value.at the moment i have no child but i am expecting an angel soon of which when he/she grows up i will want him/her to take my ideas to the level in achieving vision 2030 by indulging agro-forestry and rural development.i like playing local football when am free to break the boredom and monotony of my activity as well as relieving my minds from stress to expound my critical thinking pertaining on my area of specialization
