The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, will engage with a segment of the Nigerian youth currently participating in the Legislative Mentorship Initiative (LMI) on Wednesday.
In a statement, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker Musa Krishi said Abbas is having a session with the participants of LMI Cohort 3 at the National Assembly titled “An afternoon with the Speaker.”
According to the statement, the Speaker will also share his life experiences and some leadership tips with the Fellows and is expected to highlight the initiatives by the 10th House to support youth leadership and encourage their participation in politics, among others.
The LMI is an initiative founded in 2022 by the Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, who is now President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Chief of Staff.
“The programme is designed and targeted at equipping and empowering dynamic young leaders interested in public sector leadership, especially in the legislature, by providing them with the necessary hands-on training and engagement in governance and public service through collaborative and inclusive leadership.
“The mission of the initiative is to develop the next generation of legislators and ethical public sector leaders who are well-equipped with responsive leadership skills, knowledge, and expertise to enhance public service delivery and foster national cohesion”, the statement added.
