Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will chair the public launch of the Solomon and Mary Lar Leadership Institute, scheduled for November 24 in Abuja. Jonathan accepted the invitation during a courtesy visit from the institute’s Central Planning Committee at the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation.

He highlighted the significance of leadership for sustainable development in Nigeria and Africa, advocating for a review of leadership structures to enhance their impact. Jonathan commended the late Chief Solomon Daushep Lar for his role in Nigeria's democratic development and his leadership in the G-34 group that opposed the military regime of General Sani Abacha.

He also praised Prof. Mary Lar, the institute's founder, for her vision in leadership development. Jonathan expressed satisfaction with the institute's establishment, aligning its objectives with his foundation's commitment to mentorship and democratic growth.
