For this months episode, I spoke with Dr Adetola Salau, the current Special Adviser on STEMM & Corporate Sector Engagement for the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education. We spoke about the crucial role her parents especially her mother played in her affinity to STEM and her experience gaining STEM education in Nigeria and also in the United States. We also talked about her transition from teaching to education policy as well as her work at ELIA Africa Development Initiative, ELIA standing for Education, Leadership, Innovation Advancement.
