chevening career plan question

Terrorism attacks in North-East and South-South of Nigeria, Oil pipe line vandalization, flooding, climate change, desertification, erosion all in this recent time have affected the economy of Nigeria. Lives and properties are lost on terrorism attacks, lands are destroyed on bomb blast attack and oil spillage and Agriculture is no longer affective in Nigeria. Oil pipe line vandalization in South-South of Nigeria has caused oil spillage and destruction of wildlife, and also flooding, climate change, desertification in north region of Nigeria, erosion, coastal changes all have contributed to Nigeria economic recession due to less attention paid by the Government to the consequences of this economic destruction. Economic research proved in less time without immediate introduction of adequate solutions to all this environmental challenges will further cause more harm than economic recession to Nigeria.

Above actually are all the reasons why my interest in this particular master programme. The objective of cheveing is to support UK foreign policy priorities and create lasting positive relationships with future leaders, influencers and decision makers. On returning home as a chevening resource scholar equipped with relevant skills on sustainable environmental design and management and construction project management, through the British High Commission in Nigeria i aspire to identify and collaborate immediately with the British funding scheme to protect Rural lands, landscapes features through planning policies and laws and also through cross compliance involving rules for farming and land managements and this will result to restoration of Nigerian Economy.

According to the International Monetary Fund 2017 GDP estimate in descending order, United state of America, European Union, China, Japan, India and Brazil are the largest economies by nominal GDP. The market Economy of twenty first century is very competitive. Working with the British funding scheme and on an exposure to environmental challenges like that of Nigeria, I will practise and apply the principles of sustainable environmental design and management and construction project management to create environment best for production and business inventions which is the aim of the British funding scheme. Through my association with this funding scheme am proud to promote chevening goals in my country and as well from maximum of five to ten years from now, i can be able to achieve my long term career goals which is producing long term economic policies and sustainability that will bring Nigerian economy up to the platform that can be compared with that of United States of America, China, Japan etc, therefore contributing globally to world economic development.

David,

Your essay isn't as coherent and as such you haven't demonstrated that you have concrete post-graduation plans to help you achieve your intents. Be aware that you are not required to promote Chevening's goals but rather you are expected to leverage it's assistance in acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills that would help you in addressing a development challenge back home. Please spend some more time reconstructing your essay.

Njoku you mistook the Post Study Plan for a personal statement. It is obvious to me that you wrote this plan before you wrote the first 3 essays in the list. You need to first respond to the leadership and influencing essay, then the networking essay, then the UK study plan, before you reach the Post study essay. The first 3 essays that you develop will help you develop a proper response to the final essay. Right now, you are not providing any future career plans for yourself and you are not showing how the UK has any interest in your country's development. So you will need to trash this essay. Start with the first one instead because the order in which you write these essays will allow you to properly develop your post study plan. It gives you the opportunity to assess what your future career will look like and why. The influence of the UK in your country should help you to create the most effective response to the post study plans prompt, which, it seems, you did not even bother to read or understand before you wrote this essay.
