Tinubu Donates N1b For LASU Leadership Centre

Former Governor of Lagos State and the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has donated N1 billion endowment fund to establish the Centre for Leadership Development in the Lagos State University (LASU).

Announcing the donation while delivering the 25th convocation lecture, Tinubu said the Centre is to groom aspiring leaders, train human capital for leadership positions and deepen the culture of civic engagement among young people.

Tinubu dissected the contemporary challenges bedevilling the nation and offered what could be done to place the country on the path of irreversible growth and greatness.

The APC National Leader, represented by Lagos Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, described Nigeria as a nation “endowed with features of greatness”, but has remained locked in a place.

Tinubu said the country remained an economy unjustly designed to export raw materials and import increasingly expensive finished products.

The frontline politician said the political class must truthfully acknowledge the lapses and must be bold to make corrections, rather than vilifying one another for the present challenges bedevilling the country.

Lagos State Governor and Visitor to the University, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the decision of the State Executive Council to immediately set up a Professorial Chair on Leadership and Good Governance in the school on behalf of Tinubu.
