A former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Wole Olanipekun, SAN, has called on Nigeria’s leaders to deliberately mentor and prepare younger generations for positions of responsibility.
Olanipekun made the call while accepting his induction as President of the Council of Chairmen and Grand Patron of HOC Capital Club at a ceremony held in Abuja on Tuesday.
The legal luminary said leadership should be viewed as a continuous process of transferring knowledge, experience and opportunities from one generation to another.
Using a football analogy, he described leadership as “passing the ball” to younger people and ensuring they are adequately equipped to succeed, adding that sustainable national development depends on effective leadership succession
