Lamidi stated that the book's creation stemmed from his desire to establish Lead and Mentor, an educational social enterprise providing guidance and counseling to youths and students across all educational levels.

He expressed his commitment to supporting students pursuing graduate studies abroad, citing the success of three of his students who transitioned from Higher National Diploma (HND) to fully funded PhD programs.

The researcher's goal is to make the book widely accessible, particularly to secondary school students and undergraduates across Nigeria, with a vision to distribute 100,000 copies of the book.
