The major reasons why Nigeria families and business struggles because there is a huge leadership deficit which must be bridged to get the right impact, Founder of GOTNI Leadership Centre, Dr Linus Okorie has said .
Speaking with Journalists in Abuja Tuesday, Dr Okorie said world renowned speakers ranging from Brian Tracy, George Frazier, Femi Lazarus, among others are
expected to converge in Nigeria for a national leadership conference.
The conference with the theme, “Leadership Capital for Wealth Creation” is billed to hold between 20-21st of September 2024 at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja the nation’s capital, providing them an opportunity to speak on the leadership deficit plaguing Nigeria for decades and proffer solutions.
The Founder of GOTNI Leadership Centre further said contemporary challenges in the economy, coupled with institutional and social crisis makes the conference which will be packed full of ideas, germane.
According to the organisers, Africa is widely believed to have suffered from ineffective leadership, a trend that has persisted for decades, hampering the general development of the resource-rich continent.
Okorie said this deficit is compounding the crippling debt profile the continent is facing, exacerbated by foreign loans sometimes disguised as aid from Western and Asian countries.
He said these issues are often attributed to leadership failures and an inability to prudently manage the vast mineral resources available in many African nations.
“With the ongoing evolution of Nigeria’s economic structure, the need to equip Nigerians with the tools and knowledge for maximizing leadership potential and financial growth has become a significant priority.
“In view of this, the forthcoming 2024 National Leadership Conference will provide participants with a distinctive opportunity to unlock the secrets to building sustainable wealth, identify leadership potential, and achieve financial growth,” Okorie stated.
