Equipping the Successor Generation of Public Sector Leaders
As I have reiterated over the years, nation building is a joint task that cannot be completed without our youth. The youth are the fulcrum of every nation - the foundation upon which the present and future of every society is built. The critical and indispensable role of the youth in sustainable nation building underscores the essence of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative (LMI).
