A handshake is more than a gesture
By Abimbola Deborah Olonade
A handshake is more than a gesture — it is a bridge between guidance and growth.
It is where leadership meets mentorship, where vision meets opportunity, and where a journey toward greatness is sealed with mutual respect.
Standing face-to-face with the visionary behind the Legislative Mentorship Initiative, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, was a moment I will never forget.
To the man who saw the need, created this platform, and opened doors for young leaders across Nigeria, I say a loud and heartfelt: THANK YOU!

Out of 7,000 applicants, only 50 were selected to participate, and I’m super excited to be among the 50. I was chosen to represent my state, Ogun State, ‘The Gateway State.
Today, I proudly announce that I am now an Official Fellow of the LMI — having successfully completed the three weeks intensive training of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative Fellowship Programme in Abuja and has been conferred with the prestigious title of Fellow, LMI (FLMI).
This milestone is not just a certificate.
It is a responsibility. A calling. A commitment to serve with integrity, courage, and excellence.
Abimbola Deborah Olonade, ANIPR, FLMI
