Yerima's motivation to become a #socialworker stems from his own experience of losing his father & mother at a young age. He notes it was extremely challenging and left him without a critical role model. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, he went on to become a social worker with the Government of Nigeria, a role he has now held for 20 years. Learn more: https://loom.ly/REUeaDg
