Abstract
Mentorship practice has been part of the human experience since the Golden Age of Greece (Dean, 2009). Engaging with a mentor as a way for mentee to learn and achieve his/her full potential is an ancient and respected practice. ‘Mentoring’ has become a universal term to describe benefits implicit in professional organizations’ memberships, graduate programs, and workplace environments (Dandago, 2013). There is, therefore, the need for the excellent culture of mentoring, known to have made the academia and the civil service in Nigeria to have excelled in the past, to be revived or to be strongly institutionalized with a view to preventing fraud in the workplace, in the school system and other places where people interact for meeting their social, political and economic needs.
