The retreat featured guest speakers, including Idris Jala, a former top official of the Malaysian Government, whose lecture Osinbajo described as ”more than motivational”, which took the participants through the Malaysian experience to economic growth.
According to him, ”Jala’s speech is one I think that challenges our whole legitimacy as persons entrusted with leadership.
”I think it goes beyond motivational speech; I think it really challenges the core of our relevance as leaders.
”I am challenged and I know that many of us here are, and I think that we will do what we need to do to make sure that we see through the labs, that we have to identify specific areas where we will do these labs”.
The acting president said that the guest lecturer’s assertions were ”so right in every way”.
He said: ‘That the challenge was to imbibe the discipline to be reasonable in our targets and objectives.

”The discipline of attending the labs diligently and accepting to be locked in a room for as long as it takes to iron out what it is that needs to be done.
”I like the point also that Jala made that the excuse that it won’t work here, the Nigerian factor, or some say exceptionalism, or the acceptance of failure before you even start is certainly not tenable anymore”.
He commended Jala for ”This exceptional moment you have taken us through”.
