What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that allows me to contribute to community development and social impact, leveraging my leadership skills and passion for strategic initiatives.

Odu Sunday Bancha is a sustainable development catalyst harnessing writing to drive positive social change. He believes that writing can accelerate the actualisation of sustainable development, transform lives, and positively impact communities and societies.

Odu Sunday Bancha is a writer and the Founder of the Undergraduates Essayists' Group, a prestigious youth-led non-profit organisation committed to equipping young writers with the skills and resources to become changemakers. He founded the organisation in 2021 as an undergraduate at the University of Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (F.C.T), Nigeria. Through this initiative, he has reached and impacted over 1,500 young writers across over 15 tertiary institutions in Nigeria for the past three years.

He is the Convener of the EMERGING WRITERS CONFERENCE (EWC). On this enriching platform, professional writers provide expert knowledge-sharing to amateur and emerging writers on the relevant skills needed to navigate the writing world, improve the quality of work performance, and promote sustainable writing. It is a safe platform where diverse writers can connect, learn, and share ideas.

Odu Sunday Bancha receives the 2024 Young Africa Innovates Programme Fellow, a partnership between Mastercard Foundation and the United Nations Development Programme that seeks to identify, incubate, and scale youth-led solutions that drive socio-economic development across Nigeria.
