Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy Bill Scales Second Reading At Lagos Assembly

A bill seeking a law to establish the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy has scaled a second reading on the floor of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

At a sitting on Thursday, Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa committed the bill to one of the committees on education for further processes.

Lawmakers at the sitting had unanimously supported the bill with some saying it would further broaden the educational focus of the state.

This will create educational models that buttress the experience in legislative and executive prowess in the state,” Deputy Majority Leader Adedamola Kasunmu said.

He expressed optimism that the academy will boost the education drive of the state and help to nurture future generations.

His colleague, Hon. Femi Saheed, added: “If the law is passed, it is going to serve as a customised leadership academy that will grow our youths culturally, socially, and in academics.”

He said the academy will strengthen the feedback mechanism in the state.

Another lawmaker, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, said the bill is a confirmation of the government’s efforts to build leaders with extra knowledge and problem-solving skills.

Describing it as a good innovation, he advised against elitist influences and marginalisation in the registration process of candidates when the bill eventually becomes law.

Lawmaker Aro Moshood called it a forward-looking bill but suggested that additional focus should be on innovations in technology and their applications in leadership positions and activities.
