Why I would make a good Steem Country Representative for Nigeria

I hereby tender my application post for country representative of Nigeria. Having been on the platform for over a year. I've accumulated basic understanding of the philosophy of the project through which this blockchain is built upon and I understand the respective roles expected from existing representatives. I am confident I have the necessary skills to take up the role adeptly and perform above expectations.

I first stumbled upon the platform in February 2020, over a year now. I used that word as I had no prior knowledge about the platform. I believe I got to steemit via interaction with a post on Reddit. I found it quite difficult to navigate through at first until I got in contact with @focusnow (founder of steemalive community). Back then, the community was still under the planning phase and to express my gratitude, I've always supported the community(steemalive) to the best of my capabilities.

I'm a quality-oriented college student (BS in Accounting) currently attending the University of Lagos, Nigeria. While working on academic and extracurricular projects, I have developed proven critical thinking, interpersonal and writing skills which I hope to leverage into the country representative role.
I've developed expertise in client relationship management, customer satisfaction and retention including a bit of people knowledge. I possess astute business knowledge and experience contributing to strategic planning whilst delivering improvement in the process. I've had to work as a sales representative over time hence I've managed to develop my interpersonal skills.

There's only so much one could say about oneself, but in reality actions prove to be more convincing.

I had second thoughts about making a submission initially. Certainly, there are a lot of credible individuals across the steemit Nigerian communities. But I asked myself, "what value could I possibly offer?"

With respect to the tasks of country representatives highlighted in @steemitblog post

They should particularly seek out and greet new Steemians, and guide them to the Newcomers Community and their Country Community if they have one.

As stated earlier, I currently attend the University of Lagos, which is one of the most renowned and populous universities being located in the heart of the country, Lagos, which accounts for over 14 million individuals making it the largest city in the whole sub-Saharan Africa.

Being a member of the steemalive Lagos group, we have no more than 52 participants.
I could narrow it down and say, well about 90% of students here are oblivious to this platform.

Considering the numbers the city holds, it's a bit odd, what do you think?.

I intend to take advantage of this and further increase awareness for this platform, capitalizing on the numbers the institution offers alongside the high social network hence I believe the authority which accompanies the attainment of country representative would advance and make this project easier and successful.

I'm aware there are currently three other representatives of the country and the state in which they are centered has produced a lot of active steemians (Nigerian), which explains the mass number of participants from that state.
I strongly believe an additional representative chosen from the heart of the country would augment the works of the existing reps, aid the effective spread of authority over a wide area and facilitate the promotion of steemit via a grassroot approach.

Steemit is a whole new world and I got the keys freely, it's up to me to create a haven and hand those keys to others also.
