A call has been made for a re-awakening of a strong and sustainable ethical structure that can grow and nurture a robust purpose-driven leadership-recruitment process where Nigeria’s future leaders are mentored for governance excellence in all segments of the Nigerian society.
The call was made in Abuja yesterday by former information minister, Prof Jerry Gana; the political adviser to the president, Prof Ahmed Rufai Alkali and the national coordinator of Vibrant Transformation Awareness and Leadership Development Initiative (VITALDI), Senator Saidu Umar Kumo.
Speaking in Abuja at the inauguration of VITALDI, Prof Gana who is the grand patron of the group observed that the need had come for all true citizens of the country to collaborate urgently and ensure that Nigeria remained on the path of sustainable growth and development.
He said, “The current moment in the country belongs to all Nigerians irrespective of race, region or religion, creed or class, male or female, young or old, political party A or political party B. It is for all Nigerians to rise and ensure that our collective destiny is derailed by a common enemy attempting to seize the moment. It is for all patriotic Nigerians to ensure that they are driven by a common purpose to defeat the common enemy.
“Leaders must therefore emerge to lead at every segment of the nation. For such leaders to lead well, there should be a robust leadership-recruitment process which also emphasizes robust mentorship. This is what I find needful now and which the VITALDI group seeks to achieve. We fully support it,” he said.
