Leadership should be by example.
I was at the Welding and Fabrication department of our Institute - Nigeria Korea Friendship Institute of Vocational and Advanced Technology yesterday and did demonstrations on handling basic equipment to our new students .
A little demonstration motivates a long way.
One of the most underestimated sections of a CV globally is the Executive Summary.
Most people treat it as an introduction.
That is a mistake.
Your Executive Summary is not an intro — it is your positioning statement.
It answers, within seconds:
“Who are you professionally, and why should you be considered?”
Here is what separates an average summary from a powerful one:
❌ Weak approach:
• “A hardworking and dedicated individual…”
• Generic traits with no proof
• No alignment to the role
✅ Strategic approach:
• Clear professional identity
• Industry-specific positioning
• Quantified or implied value
For example:
Instead of:
“Experienced administrator with good communication skills…”
Use:
“Detail-oriented administrative professional with 5+ years’ experience optimizing office operations and reducing process delays in fast-paced corporate environments.”
Notice the difference:
• Specific
• Relevant
• Value-driven
At a global standard, your summary should also reflect:
• Career direction (not confusion)
• Consistency with your LinkedIn profile
• Alignment with the role you are targeting
Most CVs are rejected before the second section — simply because the summary failed to position the candidate correctly.
Tomorrow, I’ll go deeper into something even more critical — how to structure your experience using “talking points” that make recruiters pay attention.

I reviewed multiple CVs this week across different industries and countries and the pattern is the same.
Most CVs are written like a biography.
That is the problem.
A CV is not a record of everything you’ve done.
It is a strategic document designed to answer one question:
“Why should we interview you for this specific role?”
Globally, recruiters and hiring managers spend an average of 6–10 seconds on an initial scan. In that time, they are not reading , they are matching.
Matching:
• Your experience to the role
• Your keywords to their requirements
• Your value to their problem
This is why a generic CV fails , not just in Nigeria, but everywhere.
A strong CV is:
• Targeted (aligned to a specific role or industry)
• Structured (easy to scan within seconds)
• Evidence-based (achievements, not responsibilities)
If your CV can be sent to 10 different job roles without adjustment, it is not optimized.
It is diluted.
Tailoring is not optional , it is the difference between being ignored and being shortlisted.
Tomorrow, I’ll break down one of the most misunderstood sections of a CV , the Executive Summary - and how it silently determines whether your CV is read or rejected.

For many Nigerian youths, the dream of higher education once seemed impossible.
Too many bright students had the talent and ambition to succeed, but their families simply could not afford the cost of university education.
Today, that story is beginning to change.
The Student Loan Initiative is opening doors for thousands of Nigerian students by providing interest-free loans to help them access higher education in public institutions.
This means that students who once had to abandon their dreams can now pursue their education and build a better future.
According to the NELFUND portal, these loans are interest-free and designed with flexible repayment terms, ensuring that education becomes more accessible for young Nigerians.
Education should never be limited by financial barriers.
A nation grows when its young people are given the opportunity to learn, innovate, and contribute.

“Nobody told you this - Nigeria quietly started one of its biggest economic reforms in decades.”
-Fuel subsidy system was removed.
- Multiple foreign exchange windows were unified.
- Government pushed revenue reforms to stabilize the economy.
PROOF:
IMF says Nigeria’s authorities reformed fuel subsidies and unified FX windows to restore macroeconomic stability.

This isn’t about who people like more. It’s about institutional tradition, seniority considerations, and executive judgment. Respect to both officers for their service and we should stop trying to fan embers of discord.
@VivianIfeomaOj 4)
Historically, it’s not unusual for someone outside the DIG rank to become Inspector-General. The President has constitutional discretion and typically chooses who he is most comfortable working with.
@VivianIfeomaOj 3)
Not every promotion reflects pure seniority. Sometimes balancing factors (like quota or regional representation) influence who holds certain ranks at a given time.
@VivianIfeomaOj 2)
Mr. Disu enlisted earlier (1992) than Frank Mbah (1994). In structured services, entry date and progression history often carry weight when leadership decisions are made.
@VivianIfeomaOj 1)
The debate over the new Inspector-General of Police should go beyond emotions or rank titles. In the Nigeria Police Force, seniority and date of enlistment matter just as much as the current position.
