Our Editorial Team

Yezir Hasan

My name is Yezir Hasan, a 20-year-old Nigerian with a passion for communication, storytelling, and the power of words. Currently, in the final year of my Mass Communication degree, I have dedicated my academic journey to honing my skills and understanding the intricacies of effective journalism.

My journey in the field of communication began with my early fascination for the written word. As a child, I would spend hours lost in the pages of novels, captivated by the stories that unfolded before me. This love for literature eventually grew into a profound appreciation for journalism and its ability to shape perspectives, inspire change, and empower communities.

Before joining the iuvo editorial team, I had the privilege of working with the Smart Contract Research Forum, where I immersed myself in the world of emerging technologies and their potential impact on various industries. This experience not only expanded my knowledge of blockchain and smart contracts but also solidified my belief in the importance of staying at the forefront of technological advancements.

Being a motivated 18-year old-student, I have taken an interest in volunteering and journalism related projects long ago. My journey on bringing change started four years ago,when I joined the Audiopedia movement, taking drastic steps into womens’ empowerment.

From my perspective, every initiative concerning knowledge sharing, defending social justice and promoting community education should be welcomed with respect. Here, in iuvo, we aim to highlight the rights of every individual, by embracing speaking up about multi-sided societal issues and personal experiences. With every article I edit, I aspire to welcome the inspiring voices of change, making sure that they are given well-deserved attention as well as a safe place to develop themselves
