Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigeria and African nations to prioritize leadership recruitment, training and development to foster sustainable growth. During a meeting with members of the Central Planning Committee of the Solomon and Mary Lar Leadership Institute, Jonathan emphasized the importance of effective leadership in national development.

Jonathan expressed satisfaction with the establishment of the institute, stating that its objectives align with his foundation's commitment to mentorship and democratic development.

He also paid tribute to the institute's founders, the late Chief Solomon Daushep Lar and Professor Mary Lar, praising their contributions to Nigeria's democratic evolution. The November 24 public launch of the institute aims to promote leadership recruitment, training, mentorship and development in Nigeria.
