For Ezeani, she began the programme in 2019 and is currently working as the Acting Secretary General of the Nigeria University Games Association (NUGA). She highlights the network that the Dream Together Master’s programme creates as a vital component of the experience.
“Working with people from different nations, backgrounds and social outlook definitely prepares one for leadership as you learn to navigate people’s opinions to come up with a workable outcome,” Ezeani stated.
Since November of 2021, Sazali has been working as an academic and lecturer at the Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation, UiTM Seremban Campus in
