He stated: “We will decidedly and consistently share credible and verifiable success stories of Nigerians so that others can learn, be motivated, and be inspired. We will partner with the government and its agencies, as well as corporate organisations in changing the value system of Nigerians, and institutionalizing a new culture that rewards and appreciates hard work and integrity.

He noted that the team at The Podium Magazine is committed to building a global media brand that will celebrate the good deeds of Nigerians all over the world. The culture of blame, criticism, and condemnation must be replaced with a culture that appreciates and celebrates good people while they are still alive, he opined. “As a people, we are quick to condemn but slow to commend. We sometimes also celebrate people with dubious pedigree. This must stop. A lot of Nigerians are doing exploits all over the world, unnoticed, unrecognized, and uncelebrated. The Podium is out to change this order “, he said.
