Nigeria: Leadership and Development

About the Book

This book , NIGERIA: LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT - ESSAYS IN HONOUR OF CHIBUIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI , is an attempt to clarify the issue about leadership and how , in our circumstances , it has impeded ( or for those who believe differently , facilitated ) the achievement of the Nigeria project. The philosophy behind this book is that if those who are doing well get encouragement they will see the need to remain focussed and stay the course ; they may then inspire others who may aim to achieve even more. It is useful to always be critical in appreciating those who lead because it might help them to improve . But it is most unhelpful to always condemn everything , and thus attracting into the ring those who are entirely shameless. There is something to be gained by encouraging those who show signs of understanding that Nigeria cannot afford to continue muddling through unless it wants to literally fall off the map in a globalized world . Leadership is an honour and an opportunity for service to humanity and not just a platform for self - promotion.

About the Author

" I am in politics to serve the people.The values of good,enlightend governance tanscend borders.If we are to snatch Africa from the jaws of underdevelopment and misery,we must erect for ourselves even more exacting standard of good governance than even the best the world has to offer.For me success in politics and governance can only be measured by the improvements we bring about in the lives of the people. This is a hands on and endless engagement." RT.HON CHIBUIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI.
