‎Speaking at the summit, Hon. Babalola Abiodun, the keynote speaker at the event, emphasized the importance of leadership, describing it as an avenue for serving public interest.

‎”Character is the most important but capacity in the fold of leadership can’t be compromised. Leadership requires capacity tools such as critical thinking, ability to solve problems, and face challenges. Leadership is not only about titles or positions, it serves as an avenue to make impact,” Hon. Babalola Abiodun said.
