Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed is expected to present African Leadership Lecture at the inauguration of Segun Adeleye Foundation for Good Leadership in Africa (SAFFGLIA).
The event will hold at the University of Lagos on March 10.
Mohammed, a lawyer and former National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), will be speaking on a topic: ‘Setting Agenda for Good Leadership in Africa’ .
Also at the event, a book, ‘So Long Too Long Nigeria’ authored by Adeleye, president/CEO World Stage Limited, will also be launched.
Adeleye, a journalist, author, media entrepreneur and founder of SAFFGLIA, said the lecture, designed to address leadership failure in Africa, will be attended by top business executives, government officials, including ministers, governors, scholars, future leaders and the media.
He said SAFFGLIA was founded to leverage on his experience over the years to help in whichever way possible in the development of leadership culture in Africa, as his way of giving back to the society.
“From my exposure over the years through interactions with business organisations and top government officials both at home and abroad, I’m concerned about how the issues of leadership failure and lack of corporate governance robbed our country and the continent the opportunity to be great,” he said.
He listed the objectives of SAFFGLIA as including: to carry out activities and projects that will encourage governments across Africa to embrace good governance to uplift the standard of living of the people.
Among other initiatives, the foundation will encourage/recognise leaders that are doing well through The African Man Award.
It will also establish the African Hall of Fame for distinguished leaders both in the public and private sectors.
