Digitising public payments: Lessons from FAAN’s cashless reform, By Shona O Oluwatola https://t.co/7Zb3YIdnGm

The title of this book is not an attack on people that struggle with staying awake to study or those who have found help with or love kush or coffee. Rather, it means that you do not need anything external to achieve your goals. The energy that you need is already inside of you.

[Shona Ọlálérè @shonalere]

#NewBookAlert: I wrote this book with You in mind - Yes, YOU! You who have goals but are struggling to achieve them. You, who are trying to get into new organizations, change your careers, or get admitted to universities.

Don't worry, let this book be your BUDDY. I have worked through that same path and I am super excited to announce that you are not alone.

From the chapter on “Paid Menial Job vs Unpaid Consulting Job” to “Negotiation and Confronting Your Goals” it was all about YOU!

[Shona Ọlálérè @shonalere]

I am super excited for the PRIVILEGE to contribute hours in volunteering.

Sometimes it’s serving food, counseling, and Praying with the homeless in #LosAngeles

Other times it’s constructing new homes as I did with @HabitatLA

Friends, our lives should be spent improving the world better than we met it 🥰💃

Over 160,000 people are homeless in #California. Although my career allows me to influence and contribute to government policies, I also know the power of Partnership and Community.

Last week @cdial_ai made history as we launched the first-of-its-kind Modern Dictionary in Nigerian languages - #CDIALDictionary.

Of course the dictionary had to include words in #Policy #Governance #Health #Tech because these are some of my favorite sectors.

[Shona Ọlálérè @shonalere]

Behind this milestone are Fathers that prayed for me, Mentors that stopped at nothing to invest in me, a Super-Duper supportive Family and the Most Understanding Friends.

Government and politics is sooooo tangible. We see it in the standard of living of average citizens and in people’s participation in elections.

Observing the #OsunDecides2022 with the @electherng team was an insightful experience.

[Shona Ọlálérè @shonalere]

We spent a few weeks conducting baseline survey as part of our impact assessment data gathering work.

#May25 #AfricaDay: It’s exciting to see all the technology innovations in Africa over the last years. More than just building those solutions, it is important to measure the real impact those tech apps and solutions are having on users.

As we look forward to a national policy that enables the use of Electronic Medical Records in all health facilities, I’m excited about the work @heliumhealth is doing in #EkitiState.
