Ex-CJ Seeks Leadership Mentoring For Youth

Former Chief Judge of
Ogun State, Justice Olukayode Somolu has called for a mentoring programme for the youth as a way of preparing them for leadership.
He said most of those currently in office lack integrity, while others careless about youth mentoring.
Justice Somolu, also a former chairman of the Nigerian Law Reform Commission, spoke in Lagos during the launch of the book: :You can if you Can”, written by a lawyer and motivational speaker, Wale Oshunde.
At the presentation were Ogun State Chief Judge, Justice O.O. Olapade, represented by Mrs Olubola Ayobolu, the Ebumawe of Ago Iwoye, Oba Adeshina Adenugba, among others.
Justice Somolu regretted that leaders lack goodwill at home and abroad because of their unworthy  character, adding that most Nigerians lack a sense of shame.
“You think of any Nigerian politician that went into politics a poor man and does not come back a rich man,” he said just as he described some politicians as “chauvinists.”
The author (Oshunde) at his own level and at the beginning of the 21st Century, deems it necessary to think to write. But his own message at the beginning of the 21st century is to ask all of us to participate in mentoring the youths and the society.
“Simply put, the message he is passing in the book is that the generation before him has failed the people. This is a big lesson from such a young man.
Mr Oyemade Ogunlowo, in a welcome remark  said the author, without being a millionaire is very passionate about the plight of the youth and issues that have to do with their orientation.
Ogunlowo said through his motivational message, the author has changed the future of many youths who are now pursuing worthy careers.
Oshunde said it took him three years to write the book, describing it as a publication to beat.
