The Managing Director of Design Protocol, Bayo Adelemo, has called for deliberate efforts to be made to inculcate leadership skills in schoolchildren. He made the call during the second edition of the company’s EmpowerMD programme, which was held in Lagos recently. The EmpowerMD programme is an initiative by Design Protocol aimed at providing creative and talented children between the ages of 7 and 13 with mentorship and guidance that can contribute to their personal and educational development. Also, the initiative is focused on exposing them to leadership opportunities by having them serve as Design Protocol’s Managing Director for a single day. Speaking during his welcome remarks at the event, Adalemo called on players in the private and public sectors to key into the EmpowerMD initiative and prioritise the proper grooming of the up-and-coming generation.
