Take Advantage Of LMI To Build Nigeria Of Your Dreams -Gbajabiamila

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has urged Nigerian youths not to relent in their quest to change the country to what they want it to be.
The charge came at the Opening Ceremony of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative (LMI), organized by the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Abuja.
Gbajabiamila said that the initiative aims to identify and train the next generation of public sector leaders, particularly in the legislative sector, while noting that the LMI mandate is to develop the leaders who will shape the future of Nigeria and the world.
Gbajabiamila also said that whatever happens, Nigeria desperately needs leaders with the capacity and character to manage change.
He said “These are exciting times. In Nigeria and across the world, we are experiencing rapid and relentless changes across every facet of our lives. Some of these changes are technological; others are economic and political.
According to him, “There is also a great deal of demographic and population change. All are happening at the same time. It is clear to anybody paying attention that the old equilibrium is unsettled, and the rules of the old order no longer apply. What is less clear is what happens next.
“The consequences of the changes happening in our world today will depend on how we respond, the decisions we make, and the ideas we choose to invest in. The quality of our decision-making in politics and governance will define the course of our country.
“Whether we achieve progress, prosperity, peace, and security for all our people depends entirely on the capacity and competence of our political leadership.
“The Legislative Mentorship Initiative (LMI) aims to identify and train the next generation of public sector leaders, particularly in the legislature. The LMI mandate is to develop the leaders who will shape the future of our country and the world. Many young people are eager to make a change; they cannot change anything if they don’t understand and participate in the political and governance process. We aim to involve more young people and direct their energies into something tangible contributions to good governance and national development,” Gbajabiamila said.
and the work of government does not advance their cause, such feelings lead to a dangerous cynicism about politics and government. This cynicism is the reason so many of our people believe that everything the government does is for the benefit of a few.”
