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 a 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.
